RE: Major in Marketing?! by Julie Li

Here’s a link to the post I’ll be talking about. Julie begins by talking about how she came to UBC wanting to do International Relations, and is now applying for a Marketing major with International Business.

Funny. I’m quite alike.

For the longest time, I wanted to be an international corporate lawyer. Majoring in international relations has always been on my list. But, things happen in life and I realized that I’d probably hate my life if I were to actually be a corporate lawyer. More things happened and I landed in Sauder, and fell for OB. OBHR was my major for sure (good thing there’s no cutoff).

HOWEVER, this was before I took Comm296… and from the semester I’ve had with Tamar, I have come to realize that she markets marketing very, very well. Now I’m completely in a dilemma! OBHR VS. MARKETING!? (except doing both will be amazing, so I’d probably do that). I just found it very appealing the way Tamar didn’t just teach us, but she sparked interest in so many students (not just me!). Now that is true marketing skills in action. Now I’m just hoping that the OBHR department and its profs get on it and try to spark some interest  in students… so that I’m not singled-out when I say I like HR.
