<p>I know those 2 fields are quite unrelated.. and I am exploring various options in business (admitted to stern scholars program '10).</p>
<p>so what are the typical career paths after majoring in each major?
how is the study different?
is it just a slight difference in specilization (with mostly business core class) or two completely different discipline?</p>
<p>thanks for responses!</p>
<p>Finance:
Mostly you'll go do investment banking or some other kind of banking or financial management for a corporation.
Marketing:
Most likely you'll work for a marketing firm, or start at sales and eventually work towards marketing at a corporation.</p>
<p>Finance:
More math/analysis
Emphasis on financial markets
Marketing:
More creative</p>
<p>Completely different disciplines...
Finance/Accounting are similar and marketing/advertising are similar.</p>
<p>thanks for the response!
One more question: which one is more cutthroat and which one is more lucrative (on average)?</p>
<p>Finance/Finanace</p>
<p>how much do the typical ibankers make right out of undergrad (for instance from USC or UCLA) </p>
<p>And how much do the typical marketer/sales make right out of undergrad (same colleges)</p>
<p>About $100k for undergrad ($60k base, $10k sign-on bonus, $30-60k discretionary bonus) for ibankers</p>
<p>Salespeople usually make their money through commission.</p>
