Marketing and Finance

<p>A member in this forum once told that most CEOs major either in finance or marketing, but I don't see here many threads about marketing. Is it because marketing has a low starting salary? In the other hand, people know for sure that marketing is suitable for creative people, is it true?</p>

<p>Generally, people in finance make more money than in marketing, but both have good potential for sizable salaries. </p>

<p>I don't think you will see many threads on marketing on CC because I guess for some reason, maybe those in finance have more competitive personalities and thus are researching and asking questions on forums such as this.</p>

<p>thanks for sharing your opinion.</p>

<p>yea i'm a marketing dude and it seems like all they talk about here are consulting and ibanking. Personally, marketing's fun, maintains a more relaxed lifestyle, and the money's still there.</p>

<p>possible to make 100 k in marketing?</p>

<p>easy if you stick at it. Brand Management at a solid firm (P&G, Nestle, General Mills, etc.) will take you above and beyond that right out of B-school.</p>
