Hey guys, I posted once before but I'd like some more advice. My major is Psychology, but I want to get a minor in either Business or Marketing. I still want to graduate on time, so I really can't change my mind when it comes to which one I want. The Finance and Accounting classes required in the Business minor put me off, but I hear that employers don't care if you have only a minor in Marketing, but a minor in Business is more applicable. What's your opinion?

Business is more generalised, and covers topics such as accounting (financial and managerial), marketing, HRM, economics, management theory, etc.

I really think it's best to decide what kind of work you want to do, rather than major in something that might look good to generic employers to
help you get a low-paying entry level job.

Hm, that's a good point. Well, truth is, I don't know what kind of work I want to do. But, how can I know until I actually try it out first? I mean, I like would to be a counselor, but I'm not sure if I can handle the personal stress that comes with dealing with those populations. I don't want to become depressed by "catching it" from my patients, you know? But yeah, I don't really want to do Business, either.
