<p>Public Relations and maybe marketing are potentially something I think might choose to major or concentrate in during college.</p>
<p>My Strengths:
Leadership
Persuasion
Public Speaking
Sales
Writing
I also love to create Presentations, be it through digital video, Flash, or Powerpoint. </p>
<p>But I'm really not a big math person. I originally planned on majoring in finance or economics and might still depending on this post and other future advice. </p>
<p>My abilities point me more towards the marketing, management, and public relations side of business and less towards trading, investing, quant. analysis (where the money is or where I have come to assume it is). </p>
<p>I really have a strong desire to make money and am willing to sacrifice in order to earn that big paycheck. But does one have to sacrifice 3 years of their life in IB in order to establish that foundation for their career. Can a college grad go primarily into public relations or marketing job, get an MBA, and then come back to work in one of those fields and bring in salaries that exceed 100,000/200,000/300,000 or are those numbers only seen by the Ivy Grads who have moved into IB for 3 years after college, then recieved a top 5 b-school MBA, then worked as an associate at an IB firm or something similar? If this is true, then I will probably do everything in my power to reach that equivalency even if I am slightly miserable in order to obtain that status. But are there jobs for those PR, Marketing, and Management majors with comparable prospects?</p>
