Need Advice...(education wise)

So I'm having a hard time making a decision....so here's the deal..

I've been through college and I've constantly taken courses since then. At the moment I am trained in Administrative Technology/Web Design/Business Applications & Management/Marketing.

So I've decided to finally compact all of my knowledge and just get a Bachelor's already. But now I don't know which way to go.

My original plan was to get a Bachelor of E-Commerce. Reason for this? I want to take marketing as my major, and with E-Commerce it concentrates on things such as E-Marketing and behavior that way.

However, my other road is to take a Bachelor of Marketing. Straight forward marketing. No online specializations, just flat out marketing.

I've been told to go with E-Commerce by a couple people, but I'm just not sure. The school that I will be attending has some possible career options that their students have gotten, and it all looks good to me. Here's some examples:

ECommerce

Owner of retail business
Human Resources Manager
Information Technology Consultant
Management Consultant
Project Manager
Software Developer
Sales, Marketing and Advertising Manager
Web Designer and Developer

Marketing

Advertising Account Executive (Advertising Specialist)
Wholesale/Retail Manager
Market Researcher/Analyst
Marketing Officer
Public Relations Officer
Marketing Co-ordinator
Publicist
Consultant

Maybe I'm just stalling...hehe...I can't decide what I would want more. And by the way, the first two years of either of these majors is pretty much the same...business management, statistics...that sort of stuff. It's the last two years that I need to decide on and choose what to work towards. Because what I choose as options in the first year depends on what I want to do as a major.

Re: Need Advice...(education wise)

In my humble and uninformed opinion, I say E-commerce.

That is really where everything is headed and it doesnt bar you from getting a job in one of the other areas, whereas, not having an Electronic subspecialty does make it tougher to get a job in that industry.

And anyway, just having a Bachelors makes you more marketable in an area you wish to work...

*nods*

That's what I'm being told by others...and I am interested in it. I guess I'm just afraid on missing out on something. But even at my last job interview, he said that E-Commerce was a very smart way to go.

*is still confused though*

Re: Need Advice...(education wise)

I wish I could help Thradia.. my first instinct would be E-Commerce... my toughest decision was whether to continue to be an RN or just be an LPN... I hate school so guess which one I picked...lol
