Hey everyone,
I can't decide between majoring in marketing, hr, property, management and sports management and was just wondering what other peoples thoughts were.
Any feedback would be awesome thanks
I am perhaps a little biased because i am going to do marketing but here is my opinion.
Marketing - Great general major which will benefit you in many roles, not just marketing specific jobs. Is thought to be one of the easier majors to pass but fairly hard to get high distinctions. It can be a hard market to get a decent job in sometimes and you need to be confident talking to people and giving your opinion.
HR - A career in HR will normally pay very well and you can work in every sector you can think of as well as the air force, navy and other government organisations should you want to. Personally I would probably find it a rather monotonous job after a while but it depends what keeps you motivated. You also have to really be a people person - lots of hiring and firing.
Property - I think this would be an interesting major and you have the potential to use the skills learned to start your own company or buy and sell for profit. Keep in mind though that property is often the worst affected in any financial slump for people.
Management - I think it would be good as a second major but I wouldn't only major in management personally. I heard its an ok major but that good management comes from experience.
Sports Management - If you are interested in sports it may be a good line however jobs may be limited. Would perhaps be better as a second major with something else to support you should a job in this field not be available when you first need work. Perhaps do this a second major and marketing as your first and get into the sports industry that way ??
These are just my opinions, what I also do is go on somewhere like seek and look at 'dream' jobs. See what looks interesting and look at the experience needed and work backwards.
Goodluck!
