Some said Marketing is an expensive collegiate degree, do you think its true?

Question

I am a low income college undergrad. I took up management a few years ago and I stop when I found out that our school would close. Now, I am working as a customer service representative and I would like to study Marketing but some said its too expensive.

Answer 1

Nonsense. It is no more expensive than anything else (and less expensive than some fields, like film-making, for example). I don't know where you are located, but if in the United States, you may be eligible for grants as a low-income student, and if you have a real interest in marketing (and if you are Latino, which seems likely given your name), I would recommend you look at the Lagrant Foundation; they offer an internship/scholarship/mentoring program for students of color interested in marketing and advertising (I'm a Marketing professor and have been trying to get some of our incoming freshmen to apply for years).

Answer 2

Never heard of such a thing. marketing is just another business school division so you would pay the same whether you studied accounting, finance, hr, whatever. it's all the same game.

Answer 3

You should think carefully if i is beneficial for ur career moves. There are heaps of marketers jobless outside.
