I am aslo considering Marketing but having no experience or extensive knowledge of what it actually entails, I am hesitant to vote for Marketing now.
My brother is trying to push me in that direction...especially now that I got into Kellogg. I guess ad agencies strongly prefer Kellogg grads and most of the vps and directors of marketing on the client side he deals with that have MBAs got them from Kellogg. He loves his career, and says that even when you work long hours its really fun since you deal with lots of interesting ideas and people. A lot more creativity, even when analyzing data it can be very interesting since its people's opinions and desires not financial data.
I have zero background for it but am definitely considering in majoring in that too just because of Kelloggs rep in the field it will look great on a resume whatever job I go into. I have heard its a great addition to the management majors because of the skills it gives you compliment management well. Also, judging by what my brother makes it can be a very lucrative field if you are motivated and good at what you do...also like banks, companies can be highly competitive for talent. It is probably the one career that interests me the most other than what I hope to do and the more I learn about it the more it seems like a great fit for me. Besides most of the positions are far more casual than the straightlaced banking world, so I probably would fit a lot better.
