Me right now 😥
@@MajorBall you like math?
me: *googles what its like to major in marketing*
Sophia: "communications is basically the same thing as marketing but its more writing and no math"
me: *changes my career plans*
Haha I love this! I just changed my major to Communications with a concentration in PR and a minor in Marketing! I dreaded my accounting, finance, and micro classes I’m SO happy I switched.
@@lindagammal6671 omg this is exactly what i’m gonna do thanks queen
@@lindagammal6671 sounds like something I’d love to do!! Thanks for sharing :)

YASMIN DID NOT KNOW ID SEE U HERE
I’m a current freshman who was a Biology pre-med major but took a Marketing course in high school and made it my 2nd top major I’d switch to if I was uninterested in Bio. Well within like 5 weeks of the first semester I said “I’m switching” 😂 And since then I’ve been pushing soo hard. Did an apprenticeship for ~5 months with a skincare company in NYC, applied on LinkedIn and Indeed for similar actual internships (even though my uni doesn’t allow college credits until I’m a sophomore or junior :/) and heard back from 6! Currently doing 2 now, a clothing one and one with a pretty big cosmetics retailer. I also networked like crazy and may have some fall and spring internships already set up! Definitely so happy I switched🥺💕
Hey NaKai! My college years were just like yours but I changed mine within 3 years. I only did 2 internships though so I’m looking into more by networking now. I just don’t know how to network properly, lol but I’m glad you changed we need more black women in marketing
I’m starting college next month majoring in health sciences on the Pre-med track and I’m just rlly nervous for my classes because I’m not good at chemistry and I think I saw ur comment on another video about how you said science was just a hobby which is the same for me. I feel like we have extremely similar Interests and I’m wondering if you have any tips. I’ve never taken a marketing class before but I love digital media which is why I’m considering changing my major to digital marketing . Do you have any tips on how you made ur switch from completely different majors?
@@kristiannacarney7643 I was good at science all my life and did well in the Bio class I took freshman year, but I just didn't do well at chem BUT the professor also played a HUGE role. she had horrible "rate my professor" ratings and it was normal for people to drop the class and take it over the summer at a community college which is what i was going to do, but i always loved marketing and i knew that the freshmen who came in as business majors had business pre-reqs. as a bio major, there were science courses we *had* to take, but we sort of just jumped right into our major if that makes sense. i decided to switch early (within 5 weeks) so that in the spring i could take some of the pre-reqs and get caught up with the pre-business freshmen. i talked to my advisor about switching and was originally going to keep "pre-med" with marketing but decided against it and figured it would be too much for me and a lot of differing work. i would say though, you never know until you try. i still have STEM friends who were struggling and wanting to switch that are just toughing it out and continuing with their major because at some point it does get better, but i knew i couldn't continue any further lol but if you have any more questions feel free to message me on IG @nakaijelani (: i'd be happy to help since i'm a sophomore now
@@NaKaiJelani I'm trying to break into the marketing industry right now, since I'm just over a month away from graduating from my college program. How did you network so well?? I've heard back from a couple places but it's soo hard for me to network!
@@AraDoAna The app I used to get the apprenticeship is called Acadium. HIGHLY recommend because once I put it on my resume and applied for stuff on LinkedIn and Indeed, it made me stand out a bit considering I was only a freshman at the time. But it's like an internship, but you aren't expected to know everything off of the bat. It's amazing!
ugh girl as a double major in marketing and communications, this video was so accurate i literally was like OMG SO TRUE to my screen while watching. like i literally felt it so hard when you said you go to school but weren’t learning marketing even though you were interested. i am going through the same thing rn and have only really learned through the one internship i had where i was a brands intern for a tik tok agency and it was soo fun!
hey i’m going to college this fall and i was wondering is it better to get a marketing major with a communications minor or vice versa?
and for marketing i’m not that good with math but are the courses too hard?
I feel the same way! Except I am really struggling to get an internship in my area 😭
Im a marketing major and this absolutely hit the nail on the head!
I'm in grade ten, and need to start considering careers, and i've always been interested in marketing, so this was very interesting to hear
same, I'm in 10th grade also trying to be prepared because I wanna study aboard
@@azzariafeaster4535 nice I just Wanna have a plan
@@azzariafeaster4535 same!
Same
how’s life now y’all? Im incoming grade 10 student
As someone that is studying marketing and not entirely sure what they are learning, this was a huge encouragement. Thanks
I am so glad that I found this video. I am currently in college and I'm having that "hold up, what is it that I'm doing" moment, and you helped break it down. You changed my mind to stick with it :)
You explained this so well and with so much detail😩😭 thank you
Great video! Marketing is such a deep topic
This is one of the most helpful marketing videos i have ever watched, thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for making this video and sharing your experience! You've worked and interned for so many amazing companies and I was wondering if you were able to make a video diving more into that. For example how you got those placements, what you included in your resume/portfolio, how to stand out in interviews, networking etc. Thanks so much!
I'm about to become a graduate of a business degree and when I had classes on marketing that's when I found my niche. Within business you can do pretty much anything but it becomes boring after awhile. Marketing is fun and creative! Adore marketing a lot.
This was so incredibly helpful knowledge and perspective into the marketing world. Much appreciated!
Thank you so much for this, this was a really helpful video and I gained so much knowledge. I am meeting with my counselor tomorrow, so I really want to have somewhat of an idea of a major... and this video really motivated me. I am a junior in high school, and I already made my schedule for senior year, but I might change it and take more classes with knowing how to navigate at excel(I have somewhat experience taking ap research this year). Math does not really come naturally to me, but when I genuinely put time and effort, I am able to make math easy for me, I think you're right about training your mind, it's really helpful to do that. My school provides accounting as a course to take and I think I am gonna switch it out for ap psychology. Thanks so much!!
Thank you for this video! You literally cleared so much for me.
Just applied to college with a major in Marketing! Cheers haha!
Love how you gave so much info in only 13 minutes, it felt like a good 20 mins to me :) thank you
Incredibly grateful I found this video. Recently, I had to come to terms that a career in animation is not for me, and as a creative person, I think marketing would be the career for me. I can't see myself major in anything else, and I always kinda had an interest in business, so I gotta give this a go. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so so much! I wanted to major in marketing and I was honestly a bit confused but this helped a lot!
Yayy I'm so glad it helped, thank you for watching:)
I really needed this video! Everyone just viewed me as this creative fun person and therefore said that I should go into marketing, and though I consider myself to be a creative person, I really do value the research and number-crunching behind marketing. I am currently going to major in finance and minor in marketing, but I am really hoping to do more and more marketing in the future. Insightful video! Thx
Hey there!
I am confused between finance and marketing. I am bad at maths and not that good at presentation.
Any suggestion?
@@shujayethossain6554 I’m super bad at maths soo and get huge anxiety taking in front of people so you aren’t alone 😭
Wow! Thanks for the insight. I will definitely consider this when planning my career for the future
Ahhh I feel you when you said you were confused about defining marketing. I’m a sophomore and I was really looking for a guide before actually declaring marketing management as my major. Thank you.
Of course!! thanks for watching:) happy to help
Omggg same haha
This video was helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge!!
Hello Sophia, your video was very helpful for a prospective marketing professionals. I am currently studying marketing and it clarified many things for me about where I want to go. Thanks.
Excellent video! I'm considering this major, and you did an excellent job giving a real-world explanation. Thanks!!!
Thank you!!
@@SophiaTian 😊
Thank you for this video. I am going into my senior year and I am really struggling to get an internship but this does make me feel a lot better!
Watching someone talking about your major, and then watching them getting succeed in the field is the direct motivational source! If anyone wondering why she's not uploading, what she's doing, I checked her linkedin... she's Brand Marketing Manager at Adidas which is like a dream job for many marketing majors 😍
I've just finished a highschool student and had a big struggle choosing PR or marketing. But thanks to your vlog, I can find out which one is suitable for me! Marketing for sure haha
I'm a marketing major right now, graduating in the spring. I am so glad I came across this video. There are so many things that people don't know about it. It's just so interesting all the aspects of marketing. Thank you for this video!!
Hi, how are things going for you now? Did you ever land a job? If so how are you liking it?
i’m about to have a meeting with my old high school advisor to see what i should do... this video is a sign i know it. thank you so much
I love the video, and I love how you show the vast umbrella of marketing. From someone who joined a small agency, I think it would have been great to hear 1 or 2 specific examples of what you liked or didn't like about marketing.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. Maybe I'll make another related video and include it:)
Currently, I'm having trouble with choosing the right “course” for me. I'm desperate to avoid mistakes while establishing my career, it's making me feel pressured, I'm scared to fail my family (because I can feel that they've had this unhealthy obsession with academic performances and report cards). It is not my intention to make them feel that they wasted years of paying for my tuition just for me to fail.
Furthermore, I've been considering business ever since, I was passionate when it comes about business despite my lack of knowledge (and I'm still learning). Not only that, but I became aware of Marketing last year, and did a little research regarding the course, and I immediately considered it as my top course.
Why Marketing?
Honestly, I feel like I'm mindlessly deciding. But when we talk about business, plenty of people think that it's easy, that business is all about money, all about financial stability, they barely recognize the beauty of marketing. I want thrills, but I also hate too many challenges. I feel like doing some research about Marketing, or knowing things that are related to it, gives me a thrill.
And it's scary to know that I'm doing things out of curiosity. I want to avoid wasting my time choosing wrong directions, but I'm also wasting my time by not exploring.
I'm not good at maths, but I like to learn about establishing a good relationship/communication with strangers (in which I describe as my “clients”). And also, I've been seeing myself working inside a company (probably influenced by movies and books that I've read).
Whatever happens in the future, I hope I'm doing well. I hope I won't regret my decisions and despite having drawbacks, I hope I'll be able to learn something new.
To students like me, who are having hard time deciding what path to choose. May we all have the inner peace one day. We can all make it through.
I’m planning to switch from acctg to marketing major at RBS and I stumble upon this vid! Thank you so much
I'm so happy it helped!!! Goodluck:)
i was watching this because i’m planning on becoming a marketing major, and halfway through i realised we’re going to the same university! rutgers is huge man
Do you like math?
I'm an mis major at Rutgers right now/ I'm thinking to switch to marketing now
This helped out a lot, thank you for this video 😭 😂
Currently an accounting major at Rutgers University (hi alumna!) and this video just gave me that push to change my major to marketing. I feel like I always had a creative personality but never had a way to channel it and I feet like a robot taking accounting and thinking about my future being stuck at a desk crunching numbers was not how I envisioned it. I have always had an interest in marketing but this video made me realize that there is much strategical creativity that does go into the field and now I am even more drawn to it!
EXACTLY my thoughts as well! im in accounting too and i plan to shift to marketing. hear hear!!!!
It's not only me then🥺
Thank you for this video! I have been deciding between international business and marketing and this helped me a lil
Same
@11:45 is where you nailed it! Actually, I think at the end of the day, we shall be doing what we're really passionate about. Yeah, you're right, if we ask finance grads (me myself), they will find it very difficult to try marketing and vice versa. Although I pursued a finance major on my undergrad, I am switching to marketing on grad studies. Very informative video, thanks!
I am doing triple majors in banking, marketing and finance! Perfect blend :D
Yo Sophia I really like your take on marketing as a major and even as a career. I am a marketing major right now, and I think you broke down the subject really well, and I personally wouldn't have described it any different if I were talking to a high schooler that was interested in marketing. It really is another part of business, so like you said, we deal with numbers, graphs, and analytics, but it also has a creative side that makes it really fun and interesting (to me at least). Honesty, I love marketing because I enjoy understanding why customers by certain products, what customers want and need, and I just enjoy building relationships whether that's with other marketers or with customers. Anyways, I really enjoyed your video, and I think you said what potential marketing majors needed to hear.
What jobs, involve both the numbers/graphs side and the creative advertising side. I see jobs either involve one or the other
@@yerry8738 Social media management, PR, Brand management etc.
Omg! Thanks for this video uwu you made me love Marketing even more! I was planning to take Accountancy, but suddenly I go for Marketing! I hope I made the right choice~ Btw, I am an incoming College next month!
7:40!!! Ughh literally me right now! Im so glad I found your channel
I’m starting college in the fall and I chose marketing as my major but I’m so worried about ACTUALLY getting a job in marketing after I graduate.
Ask your college if they offer lifetime placements for careers. Which means after you graduate you will have your college locate careers for you - for a lifetime.
Why get a job when you can apply that knowledge from marketing and start your own business
A lot of marketing jobs, are growing above average, should be no problem finding a good marketing job
same
@@randysantibanez2766 you need money to start a business and need a job to get money
I wanna do marketing so bad but my dream is to live in a rich neighborhood and hang out with friends at fancy restaurants with designer on. I'm nervous marketing won't make that dream happen and I'll be living like a normal person like everyone else. I'm also scared bc I have social anxiety and communication is a very key role in marketing. I'm nervous I won't get paid well and I'll just have a tough time with anxiety. But I really hope to be able to speak with people freely in the future.
This is what I worry about everyday
@@innerspacce same!!
@@ravleenrai1904 hopefully we can find a job that pays us well or better start a business that would lead us to success but honestly I wish u all the best cuz it seems that we both share the same dream and worries 🙂and I really wish we can achieve them
@@innerspacce awww 🙁 I hope we both do Good Luck!
Just work on your flaws and major in something that will give u that money to live your dream. Nothing comes easy but u must have hope and strength to work towards your dream. U must work harder than the 99% of people to achieve ur dream. It’s your choice if you want to put your blood sweat and tears into it
I’m a freshman in high school and at my school we have this thing called “LCTI” where half of the day you do your regular classes such as math, English, etc.... and then the other half of the day it would be the major you want to go for in college or for just jumping right into a business, etc... and I am taking marketing right now and I wouldn’t say it’s easy but it feels easy because it’s really such a fun and interactive way to meet new people! :) and I’m sure there will be some rough patches along the way, just as much as any job you or even I would do. :)
I want to go into marketing after I graduate this year and this was so helpful and I also love your videos😌
Thank you:)
Omg i hope you don't have to graduate digitally! I wish you the best of wishes I am a starting freshman for spring!!!
Also i hope you get a job right out of college!!!
Thank you so much, this video helped A LOT !!
Your video really helps me to choosing my major . Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️ .
Marketing is the process of identifying customer wants and satisfying them profitably
super super helpful video I've watched on marketing! (and I've watched toooons) thank youuu
This is such a helpful video!!
this video was so helpful tysm!
I want to pursue career in marketing and it has helped me a lot! Thanks :)
just applied to Rutgers! fingers crossed🤞🏻🤞🏻
Goodluck!!
I am looking to apply to Rutgers business/ marketing. I think they wanted Calculus. Am I right????? I have an Associate Degree already so I took Statistics and College algebra. I hate math! 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
thank u sm for this
This was amazing!!!
this is such a break-through for me 😭😭😭 you have no idea lol
Yes it is, better late than never!
I want to go to RU as a marketing major!! Hopefully I get in!!
Thnak you so much for this video omg
Thanks much. Was very interesting to watch
hello im struggling to find my major, im a senior in hs rn! & im really keen on doing businesses major! I've looked into accounting, i work doing bookkeeping part time at the moment but i can't see myself doing it my entire life and now marketing. I really like it from what i've read so far.
Love your video!
Great vid 🙌🏾
My internship started tomorrow it's really helpful
This was a great video, thank you
This is super helpful!!!
I really like this video. It explains marketing well and why you should take marketing. I asked my boss in a non-profit, when I was working as a volunteer about marketing at school and she told me to learn by doing. She told me much of the information is free, online eg TH-cam University. Why spend money? But the piece of paper opens doors. In the old days in the English military you purchased your position as an officer. If you have the money, why not?
omg your video is really convince and assure me to choose marketing major. thankyou for your honest review, i have to say that it's really help me, love you
I'm so so glad it helped, goodluck:)
Thanks so very much for your experience and info
how would you recommend marketing to an introverted student? would they struggle more than extroverts?
Take social classes, get out of your shell 💀
@Broken Tower bold of you to call someone else slow and weird ass when you can't even create a sentence with proper grammar 🥴
100%. If you enjoy numbers, optimization, and details you may look into the role of a paid advertising specialist. It’s in the digital marketing field as well as data analysis. Besides reporting and weekly pacing meeting you should be good to go as an introvert just bc you are spending most of your time building, optimizing, and producing reports!
Sorry I meant building, optimizing, and producing reports on your campaigns 😂
That's true I'm also not learning in school. I'm also a marketing student we have subjects almost alot of subjects that are not related to marketing and I felt bad for my self for not learning, so I studying using TH-cam so I learn something. Finally some I can relate
my first choice course on college was actually engineering and i feel like i just kinda like the name but not the work under it i take criminology but as u said i dnt want to get a job that i will just hate. i shift course now im obviously sure abt shifting into business marketing🙂
Hi Sophia ! I'm also a student at Rutgers and I'm majoring in psychology, but I would love to get into marketing as Psychology majors are fit for HR, Marketing , Advertising and other professions. I'm considering taking a few classes on LinkedIn and doing a business admin/ economics/statistics minor as I'm in SAS. I wanted to know how you got into the Rutgers Athletics internship, what questions did they ask you and what experience did you have prior to that ? I can email you separately if you want because it would be really helpful to learn about the career from a fellow student!
Just to add about the Communications major versus a Marketing major, the Communications major (particularly for those with a focus in Strategic Communications) focuses on persuasion and how that fits within advertising and how a particular ad campaign might be communicated to the public. If the end goal is get into marketing, either one of those degrees will be fine. A degree is just the thing that gets you into the door, the real experience comes once you find whatever pathway you choose (SEO, product marketing, social media marketing etc) and getting a job in that area.
Could you maybe do a video on how you got your internships and what you learned?
You need to do some networking for that. I know it is tough in times such as these, but just make sure that you are intentional with everyone that you meet and do your best to get to know them and find out how they can help you.
So useful..im actually busy with my diploma and i was so blank but hey you helped me a lot.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello! I loved this video! I am also a marketing major, and I love it so so much!! I'm building a business while I am still in college, and I would love to connect! Xo.
I was an Accountancy major and shifting to Marketing I had no idea what it is, so this helps.
Heyyy how do u like it so far?
Thank You Sooo Much!!!
thank you!!
Awesome! Thank u!
I'd define marketing as using behavioural psychology, communication and technology to influence people's consumer habits. Furthermore "verticals" are refered to as sub-branches and practically every field has them, for example a sub-branch of computer science is cyber security or artificial intelligence.
Switch from psych to undecided this video was helpful :)
I am literally a freshman in college it’s my second semester and I’ve already switched from nursing to psychology and am very interested in marketing but I am terrified of changing again because I feel as thought I am being really indecisive
I’d say go for it or else you’ll end up regretting it + it’s your first year. It’s okay to be confused about ur major.
please share books that you've used in marketing classes...thanks...love the vid btw
I'm a senior in High School and I'm kind of struggling deciding what I want to major in in business. I really like marketing because I want to do real estate and I know you don't have to go to college to be a real estate agent. But I also care about how much I'm getting pai. I have been hearing that marketing doesn't make a lot of money compared to like financing. But I suck at math and I'm not a very analytical person.
I’m still figuring it out but I’m a marketing major too I wanna work in makeup’ and idk if a B.S or a B.A is better 🥲
graduated as a marketing major here! 💓
u got a job yet and if u do how much do u make?
hi! what college do you go to? I can relate to you so much. I want to go to business school and so many people have said marketing would be a good fit for me because of my personality. I am very extroverted too, I like public speaking. Thank you for the video! I am not even halfway through but I love the video so far. sending love
What's funny is that all the many verticals you mention are actually all verticals of just promotion, not marketing. You still have three other Ps! Product (design), Pricing (really applied microeconomics), and Place (anything from supply chain to packaging). There are about as many jobs in these combined as within the promotion sphere. And you're typically qualified for entry level on these, as well.
Me hearing you talk about starting salaries when I'm almost 2 years out of college and working at a marketing agency making less than the minimum number you gave 💀
Really?! I’m looking into dosing this but idkk
If you don’t mind sharing a close number to your starting salary if you’re comfortable
I am selling financial products and insurance. If you combine marketing and finance you can make 6 figures and even more at times. After you understand the finance side it is mainly marketing.
My neighbor is a marketing major at Miami University in Ohio she loves it
Great advice cheers
Hey i love your video, it’s easy to understand and your voice is just so calming! 💖 I do got some questions for you tho if it’s okay.
1. As a student that usually fails in Mathematics during High School, do you think that i could execute well in Marketing since the early stage of college would involve lots of mathematical subjects?
2. Would you agree that Marketing Majors are earning more compared to Business Admin Majors like it is said according to Google researches?
3. As for job opportunities, do you think if it’d be easy for a Marketing Major to get into a Marketing job from a company that’s in another country?
4. Also do you agree that Marketing majors would have to be super outgoing and up to trend?
Hi :) thank you so so much for your kind words!
To answer your questions-
1. For Rutgers specifically, you need to pass calculus which isn't easy. Universities offer tutors and you can ask your professor for extra help. If you truly try really hard, I'm sure you can pass! It just might be really challenging
2. At Rutgers, Business Admin was only a minor so I can't really say from first-hand experience. But, all entry-level jobs vary depending on company and role. A marketing major can get a Business Admin type job if they have the qualifications
3. Getting a job in any location is all about your connections! Also, if you speak that country's language I'm sure that is a huge plus for your candidacy
4. I know marketing majors who aren't as outgoing and up to trend. There are many different types of marketing you can get into that doesn't require you to be too too outgoing. But, I will say, the average marketing major student is outgoing and able to do presentations comfortably. All things you can work on as you progress in your college and professional career though!!
marketing does have a good amount of mathematics. So you cant just be creative but also analytical too. So just give it a try but if you don't like the math part of it, you'd rather go for something like Communications or English
and yea i dont think that all marketing majors have to be super outgoing and trendy. There are different positions in marketing, you could also work as a marketing research analyst or literally any position to do with only focusing on the analytical side of marketing, which really dont require you to be super outgoing or extroverted. Although talking about analytics, all marketing positions will require you to deal with data or analytics at some point! So yea as much outgoing you think you are, you must have some knowledge of mathematics and business acumen
@@SophiaTian Hi Sofia, I have a question about calculus. Do you have to have the unit circle memorized to pass and get a good mark in calculus.
I’m premed right now as a psych major but I really love marketing and psychology. I was wondering if I could go into marketing as a psych major? I just feel like I’m more creative and like that aspect of marketing and premed just doesn’t seem as creative to me. Not to mention I’m literally balding with premed
in my country you have to apply straight into a major and many are hard to get into so it's stressful having to decide this young..
I’m an introvert and not really good at communicating with people. I wanna take marketing major but I’m scared if I will do well at it as a career 😖
hi there! do you have any advice for someone trying to get an internship, but without a marketing degree?
