<p>I was wondering if I should major in marketing at UF. Is the program strong; I plan on doing business but I heard that being an engineer major at UF is better because UF is in the middle of nowhere and no recruiters for business will come. Is this true, any help will be appreciated.</p>
<p>"UF is better because UF is in the middle of nowhere and no recruiters for business will come."</p>
<p>Are you kidding me? UF is not far from Orlando, Tampa, or Miami for that matter. Check out the Resource center at the Reitz Union. The set up thousands of interviews.</p>
<p>Info about both colleges:</p>
<p>Warrington</a> College of Business Administration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>University</a> of Florida College of Engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>But isn't it a fact that not many recruiters come to UF to look for talent. Also many MBA programs want people taking majors other than business ugrad.</p>
<p>I say do what you like and you won't have any trouble finding a job you love</p>
<p>Hopefully, most of my friends majoring in business are either working as a manager at a retail store or making $30,000 as a salesman. I don't want to end up like that.</p>
<p>The Business school is very strong. UF has a set of "career fairs" where most companies from around the state come out to see what the university can provide for jobs. You can easily find a job or internship easily there.</p>
<p>Warrington is a solid b-school, but I have to say that finance is the way to go. My finance friends are making a LOT more than the average marketing grad.</p>
<p>but doesnt finance equal ibanking which equal no social life. I love being around people and working 100hrs a week is not an ideal job for me. I rather be working 40-50hr a week and make 45k and still be satisfied.(At first lol)</p>
<p>Every program at some point will mean you have no social life. I would crack on a few majors, but that wouldn't fly with some people =P</p>
<p>You may want to look into an accounting major. Once you look past any misconceptions you probably have about it (most people have a very wrong idea of it), you'll see a stimulating profession with great job placement and great pay. Fisher is one of the best accounting schools in the nation as well.</p>
<p>Only drawback is that the major is very difficult.</p>
<p>Yeah my friend just graduated from Fisher and he said it was very labor intensive. From what I saw, the math is fairly simple, but its the managerial concepts that go along with it that make the major difficult.</p>

<p>Finance in no way is a complete equivalent to ibanking. First off, you need to get into a top MBA program or graduate from a top b-school in undergrad (think Harvard, Wharton, Stanford) to get ibanking jobs. Secondly, there are lot of career opps in the finance world which preclude the ibanking profession.</p>
<p>But I am more interested in the human interaction of business more so than the calculations of business.</p>
