Is a bachelors in Economics better then a PR or Marketing degree?
To make a very long story short, I received a regional scholarship however the school that I plan on attending does not have my major I want to study which would be Public Relations and Marketing.

I want to go into public relations or marketing, but since neither are available what's the best way to go? #marketing #business #college #public-relations #Economics #finance

Army guy looking for educational help, career wise.
Hey guys, I've lurked on this site for all of 3 hours before realizing actual professionals respond on here, which is what I'm looking for. Anyways, I'm David. I've been in the Army since I was 17(got parents consent/signature). I'm 21 now and currently serving in the National Guard. I have recently come to a road block in my educational career. I've been at a community college for 2 whole years now and I have been on the path to becoming a Registered nurse, since in the Army I'm a combat medic and have some medical experience and certifications under my belt. Now recently, I'm starting to feel as if the medical field isn't my true passion, and tbh I still don't think I've found a major I'm truly passionate about, but I have always had an interest in economics and businesses and how they're able to make money and stay in business etc etc. Should I stay on the path to becoming an RN, or switch to majoring in Finance or Economics. Or would perhaps another business related degree be more marketable and valuable or should I pursue even something like engineering. Any advice/help/opinions/tough love is much appreciated! #business #engineering #nursing #finance #economics

How to go about getting student loans
I wasn't able to fit into any economics classes in high school and am now freaking out about what sources to use for receiving student loans. I know that I am going to need something as my current scholarships aren't fully covering my education and I currently have no money to pay and my parents are not supporting me financially. I don't know which loans would be best suited to avoid debt later on, I don't know what rates are best, I don't know if I should trust variable rates, and I'm honestly just so clueless, so a quick run-down about how to approach this would be wonderful. #finance #economics #scholarships #student-loans #loans
