Marketing v/s Finance

Hey all…..well finally exams are over and I am free bird…its so amazing cause after preparing for the whole year and having hectic nights and pathetic tension, one gets an opportunity to sigh and relax for at least 3 months…wow!!!.

Well I am writing this actually for students who have to make choice regarding their subjects in second year and are still having mind boggling night mare about what to choose and what not to choose…

So here I go……

Marketing is a very vast area where one can actually grow and grow without stopping and it’s a very challenging field, in my opinion a person should opt for marketing incase:

1. you have a hand on the marketing concepts.

2. you have good communication skills, to actualy influence or pursued someone.

3. you have high interest in marketing.

4. you believe in growing .

5. you are good in observation.

5. you want to explore the business world from front.

Finance is a field where in there is much more than just numbers attached to it. It is field of great interest, in my opinion a person should opt for finance incase:

1. you are good in numbers

2. you are extremely dedicated

3. you have interest in stock market

4. you think balance sheet is interesting.

In my opinion both these fields are very important as an organization can not exists without finance department or marketing department.

I have come across many people who say that, “ohh, you have taken marketing, why? , I think finance is better ”. Well in this case I petty people who actually can even compare marketing and finance, as if one cannot have favorites among their 2 hands then choosing between finance and marketing is simply stupidity.

I am marketing student and I can go on and on regarding marketing those who think that marketing is very easy then I would love them to actually step in my shoes and learn all the theories of consumer behaviour and know all the models of product innovation. Trust me both marketing and finance are tough but finance is way scoring and marketing is not cause one need to know all the theories up right center completely and need to have their basics correct.

I would wish all my juniors best of luck and advice them to choose their subjects intelligently and smartly.

Let it be Finance or Marketing trust me wonders can happen if u put in your 100% and be dedicated in what you do.

EXAMINATIONS

It is nerve wracking, it might weigh you down but if taken in the right spirit, it can be dealt with quite smoothly. Yes, it is – Exams!!

Exams can be a BIG trouble and major source of stress but it can be handled. Make time-tables, follow them, prepare in advance and voila! We can handle them with a lot more ease. A quick revision is all that is required the day before. Be sure to get enough sleep during exams because lack of sleep hampers memory and dreams both, the mind and the body.

 Exams at IILM are a lot easier. We have mid-terms which can be counted as mock exams. These help the students prepare for the final examinations. Besides, with adequate preparation material and teachers ever-ready to help, exams just become a cake-walk.

With the right kind of attitude and spirit, exams become just another challenge which we can rise up to. They evoke a sense of competition which helps us attain greater heights. And now that exams are over and summers are around the corner, wait up for my next article on summers!!
