    I have a cousin who graduated from UT with a marketing degree. He's still jobless after two years.

    i'm with Baqui on this - working on my MBA myself.

    If you get a MBA, do both. They're my two majors - I think it's the most useful combination to know. Marketing teaches you a lot about how you should market yourself - and that's an invaluable lesson.

    Finance is more tangible and more challenging. Marketing is very important to know, but a few classes in the subject should set up a foundation that you can build upon. Finance, on the other hand, takes more than a few classes - modeling, risk assessment, valuation etc.

    Could just be your cousin. No offense of course. I have friends that are very smart but can't really communicate with others effectively. I think interviewing skills are 50% of the equation.
