Prospects of a marketing degree

[virtualfullstop]

Hi all,

Can anyone share with me the prospects of a marketing degree in Singapore? With a degree, is there a high possibility you will end up in a sales job?

Any insights are gladly welcomed.

From local uni? All of my friends who did marketing are NOT in sales.
They are in advertising, marcom, PR, media, events management, tourism, civil service and a few in banks.

Thanks for your reply!

Yes local uni. How are they doing career wise?

Grad few years ago from one of the local uni, and a good number of my batch mates that majored in marketing did not seek a marketing career. Go figure.

Marketing...starting pay is low,annual increment is small ...But sure, the job is more multi-faceted and less dry....Jumping around is the way to boost salary more substantially...

Thats what i know,2 years in marketing field now..but feeling sad with my current pay
