You need to choose based on your particular strengths and the career path you want to embark on. You need to determine if you are an extrovert or an introvert. Extroverts like working with people and in teams eg marketing and sales while introverts tend to be loners (number crunchers). HR deals with the personnel aspects of the organisation, solve conflicts etc. Finance people are number crunchers (desk job). A job becomes interesting if you love what you are doing. If your job is a hobby then Voila! It becomes interesting because work is/will be fun! So you see, it depends on you, the kind of personality that you have, and what you like doing. See the following links.

There are many exciting jobs under the marketing umbrella such as advertising, customer service, public relations, sales, marketing Research Officer, Sponsorship Management, and much more.

Good luck!

If you are already studying business, I would presume marketing should be a better course for you since they are closely related.

Personally I started off with accountancy, then business administration and ended with a marketing course. During the course of my work, I picked up financial experiences as well as practical human resources.

For me:
Finance is the most boring even if it's rewarding $$$$....long hours in the office, checking the cents...
Human resource : is warm and tense at the same time, why? because the people manners.
Marketing: it's very funny but shallow, you need a lot of diplomacy and strategy. It's related with advertising and events.

Have you taken basic classes in any of these things? If so, which class was the most interesting to you?

If you haven't taken any basic classes in these things start doing online research. Find out what kind of jobs and the tasks are for each of these specialty areas are and which one you think you'd prefer most. Find out what each of these areas pertains to.

Maybe you can find people (or even professors who teach the classes in each area) who can tell you more about what it involves so you can get a feel for it. (Or better yet, spend a day shadowing someone to see what they do and see which of these areas you prefer.)

If you're solely about money do research to see which of these areas pays more (not sure myself, but it's probably finance.)

Nobody on yahoo answers can tell you which one to pick. Everybody is different and likes different things.

Finance or HR, more job security than with marketing

Hi,

I do business to online, and I study advertising most of all.
At least 80% I focus on getting traffic/advertising ...

I learn for free from articles like:
