Hi,
I would agree with your father. After getting my AS in Marketing, I have decided to switch majors and choose Finance, in spite the fact that I could have had my BBA in Marketing at least 6 months earlier than BBA in Finance; due to moving major courses into general electives, instead of just âclepping outâ the easiest exams.
Since I work in finance related field, I can tell you that with this âemployers' marketâ my marketability is much better with the degree concentration allied to the job.
Additionally, if you would choose finance or accounting, your internship chances are much better, plus you will get much easier into more entry level jobs like associate accountant, associate financial analyst, junior project controller, etc.
But again, do not choose the major only upon the job opportunity and also do not just choose a general business major if it is because it is the easiest to get the degree.
