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🥺💕

[@SweetpeaC]

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?

[@NaKaiJelani]

@@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

Marketing is the process of identifying customer wants and satisfying them profitably

[@aerado_0]

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.

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.

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.

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!

You are so right that people doesn't know what is marketing... it is just so broad to explain. Marketing is the most mysterious major in the world I can safely say... people have such big misconceptions: 1: Marketing is about "selling": No bruh, you are totally wrong... no one is stupid to study 4 year college degree just to sell stuff. Marketing is about innovation of brand and products, services to fulfill the needs and wants of consumers by doing research. 2: Marketing only means "digital marketing or promoting stuff": Again wrong, nowadays digital marketing is everywhere but it doesn't mean marketing only relies on that, it is just a small part of it. There's product development, brand management, advertising, marketing research, consumer behavior, public relations, growth marketing and so many other niche within marketing. 3: Marketing is only creative: There's huge analytical and research side of marketing which involves psychology and numbers!

If I don't enjoy data, analytical things, and math, can I still like marketing?

[@nycto16]

@@دارين03 yes there's creative and psychology side too. And overall the concept of marketing is so cool.

Which is easier for a student who is not good at maths and presentation such as power point, marketing or finance? Thank you!

Can anyone help me? I’m looking to go into some type of field regarding marketing in fashion. I love the psychology behind capturing an audience not only with my posts but timing, strategy and the literally psychology behind what key words are most triggering for responses. What field would this be? I’m not sure if it would be fashion merchandising or marketing or psychology

[@KarlaHernandez-os8yn]

Omg this is me too!!!

[@sabrinajuliajose8508]

It’s like I know exactly what I wanna do but I don’t know the name for it to start lol. I ended up finding out that neuromarketing is basically what I was looking for!

[@KarlaHernandez-os8yn]

@@sabrinajuliajose8508 that’s so good! Wish you the best!

[@jmo38]

omg i understand you i wanna do this too but not sure if there’s a title or certain degree. sounds like creative directing for me with some marketing!!

[@marketinggirlgang7328]

Hey Sabrina! The field would be marketing. Marketing is both an art and a science, and the psychology aspect of marketing comes into play when creating a marketing strategy. The fun thing about creating a marketing strategy is being able to get inside the head of the customer and discover their pain-points, wants, and needs then developing tactics (social media content, paid ads, etc.) to connect them with my client who can meet those needs. I suggest looking up marketing strategist or brand strategist. I also suggest reading Storybrand by Donald Miller! Good luck on your marketing journey, Sabrina!

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.

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.

When did you get your internships? I am a freshman in college majoring in marketing and I am struggling to decide when I want to look for internships and co-ops. I think your path through college seems very efficient and it looks like you have a strong foundation for your life. Thanks for the video! This was very very helpful :)

[@YesseniaHernandeez]

You should start interviewing for internships in your fall semester because that’s where the top companies start building their pipeline and give job offers. Of course it’s not too late to start applying them now for this summer!

[@SophiaTian]

I got my first internship during my Sophomore year. This is considered pretty early but if you have the bandwidth, it's great to get ahead!

[@Rioriorio140]

Can you make a video on how you applied and got those internships at IMG & adidas? I’m currently looking for internships...

[@jonathanarchila3376]

Yeah can you make a video on this I'm looking for internships too
