As for Marketing I think it can be okay and it also covers a wide range of occupations, however most students I know that took marketing are not working in a marketing position or are working for pennies doing basic sales or market reserch jobs. Nothing wrong with those jobs but the bad thing is that the majority I know expected something far different.

I meant more as a term, I am technically under the auspices of a supply chain job, but at the same time am really not. I need to get things from point a to b efficiently, but I do no make my money off the logistics.
That is true, I think marketing is a slow burning career and once you can break into a good role than it is a great career, kind of like advertising.
What degree did you get, if you don't mind me asking?
