so yu noe its registration time and i am sooo stressed!

being a tranferee, everything became such a headache.
i have a question

which major is better

Finance and Investment
or
International marketing.

i'm a senior and i still have no clue...
please give me some insights PLEASE!!!!


edit----

the thing is, i'm the type of person who can adjust pretty well to most situations.
i just want to make a choice where i won't kick myself for choosing a career path that will lead to loneliness for the rest of my life.
my initial plan was to go into business management, then it changed and i wanted to do finance, but after i met a few people that are actually in the field, i see that some of them are really lonely. i don't want that. i don't want to be those who are 40 and is still single... thats a scary image for me.
note to self: nothing will come of nothing...

For me, its definitely International Marketing.
Analysing, Strategy and stuff sure is more interesting for meh than sitting looking at numbers and calculate...

Those 2 fields are completely different. You should think about why you're even interested in those 2. List reasons for yourself...and whichever one has more reasons for why you want to pursue it..should be your major.

For me, neither are interesting to me because I'm in Information Systems, which is completely different. Most of the times, Finance Majors hate marketing...and Marketing majors hate finance. smile.gif

i'd say finance and investment deal a bit more with math and technical problems. of course, there is analysis within that field but not as much as in marketing. in marketing there's more critical thinking and strategy development, a lot of research about your market and such.
