Women make very good professionals if guided and polished well in B-Schools of high repute. The myth that some branches are for girls and some for boys has been busted by females who have excelled in all the fields. Now there is hardly any glass ceiling left to be broken by women. Difference between Finance and Marketing ! Phew
These are two entirely different fields. MBA in any of them from a good B-School will land you a decent job. There are many differences between the kind of jobs offered after these degrees. You need to check our own personality type before choosing the Majors in any of these. If you are a extrovert, outgoing, peoples person, anecdotal and have a flair for convincing skills, you must chose marketing
If you are introvert, technical person with flair for numbers and money matters plus accounting as well as financial modelling skills. Go for finance. Rest assured, if you opt for a good B-School, their selection process will ensue that if you are good enough, you get the specialisation of your choice. The keyword here is your own interests, passions, aptitude, bent of mind and personalty type. You must also consult the existing mentors of your life for unbiased view about your capabilities. Lastly coming to opportunities and scope of both the branches:
Both the branches have ample scope, jobs, growth, longevity in career. The future depends on your choice of College. You must try for top notch universities in India like Iims, FMS Delhi, UBS Chandigarh, IITs, LPU etc. As they have right atmosphere, curriculum, training, name in market and industry collaborations to ensure your dream career gets started, while some like LPU ensure that the skills imparted are not only helpful in getting the job but also perform the work functions with utmost professionalism and efficiency. Hope this helps. DVD.
