I have a friend who is beginning the process of completing her degree. She has no real business experience (she's a waitress). She does not know exactly what she wants to do with the degree, but does feel like she is interested in marketing.
Would it be better to get a business administration degree and maybe concentrate in markeitn or just get a marketing degree? Since she doesn't know exactly what she wants to do, would the marketing degree put her into a corner? Also, the school she is considering has much lower math requirements for the marketing degree than the BA degree. Which is great for her.
I hear people all the time say that the major doesn't really matter, just that you have a degree. Note that she does realize that she will probably not be the CEO of a fortune 500 company, but wants to get out of the restaurant business.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
