<p>The common trend I have heard is that many marketers/ marketing strategists don’t need a marketing degree to do their jobs. Some people just have a flair for knowing what the public wants to see, even without studying the theories in a marketing degree. </p>
<p>Although Marketing falls under a Business school major, maybe it is more like a liberal arts major when it comes to job prospects: no direct feeder jobs (like an accountant), but maybe many more options.</p>
<p>Now, I don’t have the statistics, but I too have a hunch marketing and psychology and sociology have considerably more females. And you know how we teens are, we want to be unique, so maybe I’d like to be in the engineering school instead. But for the majority, if Marketing is their knack and passion, the gender ratio should be a non-issue.</p>
