Marketing is an evergreen branch, as along as their companies selling products & services there will always be a demand of Marketing professionals…on the other hand Finance is also good but you don’t have prior experience in this field. So the best way to choose a brach is to see your interest, if your good in communication skills, if you’re a creative person then marketing is a good option. Every company spends huge amount of money in their advertising/marketing campaigns so the future of marketing professionals is bright.
