Is Marketing a fun high school class?
Did you ever take a Marketing 101 or Introduction to Marketing class in highschool or college? I am taking Marketing 101 and I'm kinda excited for it, but also nervous. Did you enjoy it or know anybody who enjoyed it?

Marketing is useless as a subject.

dont listen to henry, marketing is fun...I minored in that in college. the only thing is since u say it is a marketing 101, ur most likely going to be exposed to the principles of it without much hands on. That was how it was for me in college. It was mainly lecture and watching of videos on how companies utilized marketing. after the first mrkting class i had, the others followed with projects that were fun to do in groups. u get to create ur own product and market it thru a presentation and things like that or create ads and test their effectivness on people thru the means of surveys taking that infos raw data and converting it into information needed to figure out what you can do to make ur product more desireable based on ur results. that is more technical stuff that require frequencies, standard deviations, bi-varietes etc. U will most likely go over things like the 4 Ps (or they may tell ya'll the full 7 Ps) and talk about swot analysis...nothing too complex.

We never had classes like that in HS, would have been nice tho. I would have been excited to have had that opportunity for it is something differnt from the norm of an english, math, science, and history class that u would normally find in an HS setting. Well have fun, never know u may really enjoy it or see the potential it can offer in the way of pursing it in college that u may choose to ultimately study that. U can never go wrong with a business major for if u cant find a job...u can always start ur own. with marketing u can offer ur assistance to local companies to create campaigns or do some social media marketing for them for a fee. U may not make alot of money with one person but that is y u continue to ask more and more people and the more u get interested the more money potential u have especially if u do such a good job and the people start refereing u to other business. if u dont live in a large place move to a more populated city and go once again after the local businesses who cant really aford a large marketing firm who can charge thousands.
