Should i be a marketing major?

College Majors Business Major

<p>So basically I'm combining all of these majors: International Relations, Sociology, Social and Public Policy, Urban Studies Poli Sci and Cultural Antro into one, with my official majors being IR and Soc. I am not sure what I want to do with this. Maybe work with the UN, start a non-profit, do policy work, who knows. I do know I want to help people, but I don't want to be a social worker. If I do go into this field I would like to get a Ph.D and or a JD. However I am worried about being able to find a job that pays a salary where I will be in the upper middle class. ($75,000+) </p>

<p>So should I switch my major to something like sports marketing. I love sports especially baseball, I would love to be the Marketing director of an MLB team or something. That's like a dream job. If I did this I could volunteer on the side to satisfy my desire to help people. The only problem is that I feel like I have this calling to like have a career in Social Justice or something. </p>

<p>What should I do?</p>

<p>Also anyone who has majored in IR, soc, Social and Public Policy, Urban Studies, Poli Sci, Cultural Antro.....what is your profession (and if you don't mind me asking what economic class would you categorize yourself as) /what graduate degree are you working on?</p>

<p>Thanks for any responses.</p>

<p>If you want information in those majors you’re probably looking at the wrong forum category.</p>

<p>Well I think the IR major you’re looking for will definitely get you the kind of work you’re looking for. If you want a good income, you can try to be a foreign affairs officer. Won’t get it immediately but it’s very possible. A PHD would definitely help. </p>

<p>I don’t think a marketing major is very useful, employment wise, but I’m not sure. If you’re desire is in foreign work/social justice, I think the IR+Sociology major would be your best pick. JD’s/lawyers mainly do business internationally. Although many want to work in HR, I hear only few do.</p>
