whats the point of doing your masters in the same field that you already did your bachelors in?

and why would you advise anyone to stay away from IT? IT is the backbone of modern business and (actually it already is) will be the driving force behind every conceivable industry from health care to marketing to procurement.
This way he'll be a manager faster than if he only has BS,
As for IT, I am an IT graduate. IT is a good major in the long run given that you always keep up with new courses and platforms, but when u're a fresh graduate u'll be robbed

ya but the only role in accounting that is worth it is auditing. everything else is for the birds.

i know guys who did MIS/accounting and now work as IT auditors and these kats are paid in shade sippin lemonade
finance along with accounting gives you an unparallel understanding of business. But i was offered a lot of auditing jobs out of school i couldnt bring myself to do that shit.

Three of my DC/B-more buddies do that for the DOD or in the private sector. They make bank like Burke nails skainks. Whenever I visit they refuse to let me pay.

Marketing is interesting, very difficult yet very easy at the same time. It's a paradox.

I like trading more though.
Well the only way I would consider an MBA, would be if I decided to pursue the business end of my Resource Management degree. If I did that, Marketing would probably be the best fit.

If I were to get a MBA, I would definitely get it in marketing. But that's just me.
Maketing needs some art which I lack, so I didn't major in it. It is so interesting for those who have a nice charisma that may enable them to do their job much easier than others.

Word. I'm considering one as well.

It would be pretty sick if we both got one after doing resource management and weather risk management.

You just have to know your product and know what people like/want to see. That's why I loved the first few seasons of the Apprentice because that's basically where the teams fucked up all the time, in marketing.

and for young recent grads (such as myself and my peers) marketing can quickly take a bad turn and you will end up in tele marketing or some other bull shit position which will leave you in a futile situation. you want to quit to get another job in a real marketing environment/fold but, you can't quit cuz you need some experience on your resume to get that next gig.

marketing along with all fields is a double edged sword

You better have at least a 3.8 on that marketing degree unless you graduated from Wharton with a 3.5.
