How Do I Know if This Program Is Right for Me?

Marketing is one of those career fields that allows you to tap into many different interests — creative writing, acting, psychology, analyzing data and statistics and even playing team sports — yes, “playing.” So, if having multiple interests has made it hard for you to choose a major, marketing could be perfect.

Want to be more certain? Consider how you’d answer these questions:

  • Can you see yourself enjoying the teamwork involved in creating a clever commercial?
  • Are you intrigued by the idea of shaping people’s behavior or understanding what motivates them?
  • Do you enjoy testing hypotheses or synthesizing data to find interesting trends or statistics?
  • Would you like to know some of the tactics marketers use to manipulate you?
  • Do you have a great product or service you’d like to market yourself or do you suspect you’d enjoy developing new products?
