The reason being both deal with completely different aspects of management, while one is more of managing the capital, the other is all about devising strategy to capture market.
The skill sets and personal attributes again differ, so also the demand and requirement of each in the industry scenario.
So, here I give below a brief comparison for you to decide, finance or marketing, which is just right for you.
1. Study focus
Finance- investments, securities, market analysis, economics, costing etc.,
Marketing Marketing, sales, branding, finance, advertisement, people management etc.,
2. Eligibility
Graduation in any stream for both however, commerce is preferable for Finance.

Assessing feasibility of projects
Raising funds
Cost management

4. Career demand
Finance- Medium
(though finance is the life-blood of an organisation, the team consists of less management personnel as compared to marketing / sales.)
Marketing- High
(organisations needs different marketing teams and strategies to sell different products & services – hence a bigger marketing team)
5. Skills & attributes
Finance-
clear communication
reasoning skills
positive attitude
problem solving skill
make and implement decisions
Marketing-
zeal to sell
creative
willingness to take risks
logical approach
outgoing personality

Hi,
Photojournalists-
Work for newspapers and news magazines who commission them to provide photographs of newsworthy events, things and situations
They combine an ability to find and record dramatic action with photographic talent.
Use agility, good observation and alertness to get the best pictures I would like to bifurcate the process into few steps:-
1. Get an education:- While a traditional, formal education is not a requirement to establish a career in photojournalism, becoming a good photographer does require technical expertise.
*Nikon India offers an Advanced Level Program
For those who want to learn more about a specific genre of photography like fashion, wildlife, photojournalism, studio etc. Understanding of the different controls and modes of DSLR camera is required, along with a good understanding of exposure control.
*Bharti Vidyapeeth School of Photography
Diploma in Photo Journalism
*Shari Academy
Diploma in Photo Journalism
2. Develop contacts in the photographic field. Join professional organizations, subscribe to photography newsletters and join camera clubs to meet people, learn tricks of the trade and even break into the photojournalism field.
3. Develop a resume. A website or digital portfolio may be more enticing than a traditional idea. The more visual your resume, the better for showcasing your work.
4. Seek an internship. Decide where you want to work based on your experience and plans for the future. Develop a portfolio that caters to the client's interest and apply for the internship.
5. Ask for feedback. Get feedback from professional contacts and teachers. The constructive criticism can help you develop and improve your photojournalism skills.
6. Stay informed about the latest developments within the field so you can stay competitive and rise above others in your field.
