International Business

Both HR & Marketing are important in business and both require different skill-sets. In my opinion, MBA in marketing would have better scope because:-
1. Marketing is closer to the revenue of a business. Generally, companies consider marketing as Profit-center and HR as Cost-center. If you do well in marketing, your contribution would be easily recognised by top management.
2. I think marketing would have more jobs. As soon as a startup is founded, marketing executives are needed. However, HR execs hiring could be postponed or outsourced till company becomes bit stable. In the same company, size of marketing team would be bigger than size of HR team.
3. Many B-schools don't offer HR discipline, but almost everyone offers Marketing. So, you may get less options to study HR. It could also be seen as a signal about demands of jobs. However, HR has some advantages as well. If everyone starts thinking like the above points, you would get less competition in HR. So, with lesser efforts, you can easily grow in HR career ladder also. By the way, most of the top managers need to learn HR skills over the time, because they need to hire, fire, retain & mentor employees & team. If you are passionate about HR's roles & responsibilities, then there is no harm in learning it.

According to best of my knowledge, I would like to suggest you that Both BBA and B.Com have their own merits. It depends entirely on your interest before choosing either of the courses. If making a career in management is your priority then you should go for BBA as it is the foundation of management and has been specifically designed for MBA aspirants. B.Com on the other hand, is much more diversified and has a wider scope for specialisation for post-graduate study. Thus, it is advisable to first chalk out your skills, aptitude and area of interest before taking up any of the courses. Instead of looking at the money making aspect while choosing a course it is more feasible to choose a course that will give you long-term benefits rather than a short-term. I hope this information helpful for your bright future. Thanks and all the best.
