<p>Can anyone answer me, is it useful if I double major in finance and marketing? I love both of them. Probably because I love maths and also want to do something creative.
Thanks so much in advance</p>

<p>OK...if you want to work for, say, Citigroup (front office ibanking), then a finance degree from Wharton or Stern will be most attractive.</p>

<p>If you want to work for, like, Boston Consulting, then go for a management degree from Michigan or Wharton.</p>

<p>If you want to work for, uh, Donny Deutsche Marketing, then go for marketing or advertising somplace. </p>

<p>If you want to work for yourself and become an entrepreneur, then go to Babson and get a degree in entrepreneurship.</p>

<p>It all depends on what you want to do.</p>

<p>i have never even heard of babson.</p>

24

<p>You have got to be kidding me.</p>

25

<p>^not necesarilly. Internationally it is not a very well known school outside of the business world.</p>

26

<p>Generally, anyone that has done a little "research" on undergrad business colleges will know that Babson is known (pretty much only) for its entrepreneurship program. But I don't think any school can give you/teach you to have an entrepreneurial spirit. I don't believe Babson is very heavily recruited, though.</p>

<p>Babson is a good business school but it is no where near great. </p>

<p>It can't be compared to the top programs such as Stern, Ross or Haas.</p>

<p>It is not very heavily recruited by the top investment banks or consulting firms. Top investment banks head for the top business schools previously mentioned.</p>

<p>im guessing a double major in math and finance/econ/accounting would look very nice</p>

Is marketing a promising major? Do you have the chance to travel a lot? And how much do you make supposing that you are a good player!?</p>

<p>luxury/high end brand marketing is getting pretty hot right now with MBAs, straight out of college marketing wont pay too much but there's good upside potential over time.</p>

<p>Dont listen to the person that said management is a flexible business major, its a easy useless major. The most well rounded business degrees are obviously finance and accounting.</p>
