How much work is it getting a degree in marketing?

Is marketing a hard career?

The degree is the easiest to get in business school. Getting an actual job is a lot harder. If you get a good one, it will require a lot of time and effort to succeed. Sort of like any career.

Depends. How well did you do in High School? If ok, then this degree is pretty simple if you stick with the homework. Finding a job is the hardest part. Start looking early and make a lot of contacts. Work in marketing, even for free to get the experience. Just finished getting masters and can't find job. No experience in field. Others that worked while going to school in that field got jobs right away.

Right now I am one semester away from getting my associates degree (2years) in Marketing. I will be going on for my bachlors. I love marketing, there is so much you can do with your marketing degree. Advertise, salesperson, promotions, public relations, party planning, it all depends which area you enjoy the most. I found that the majority of my classes were quit easy except for the general courses like economics, cont. american society, etc... Other then those classes I have gotten all A's. Marketing is a great choice for your education and if you don't like it you can always change your mind...

Good Luck

Any degree is going to require hard work. Marketing is one of the more important functions in a business and requires brains and hard work to get a degree and brains and hard work to do the job.

A degree in marketing should not be too difficult assuming that it is something you enjoy.

As a career, much depends on the type of marketing in which you specialize. Some forms of marketing, such as market research can be fairly complex with large teams of people working on a project (psychologists, social scientists, pollsters, mathematicians, etc.). Other forms, such as market analysis, can be fairly mind-numbing, cruching numbers for hours on end in the attempt to establish meaningful statistics from the raw data.

Hope this helps!
