100% agree

nope ... i can write up a storm in marketing/PR exam but i don't think i can handle the actual jobs well
not only do you have to know the basic things from the book, you have to be creative and understand the market and customers' need, what's the latest trend etc ... not easy at all, kid!

Sounds like a big sister :smile_45:

好似糸C左 ... 不過我唔知C左幾耐
當上唔到個時
我好似就走左去做其他野跟手就同個妹出埋街
宜家我一邊上網一邊包緊 gift 同寫 birthday card 比我個妹因為聽日佢生日
不過一陣我都就出去 ... 揾位等睇法網

I won't say it's easy, nothing is easy if you want to do well

But the point is, in academic words, the entry barrier for marketing is low. What the qualities you listed can be acquired not only from marketing major. Its like abilities based but not really a knowledge based thing.

Imagine, I guess I can do marketing/business but not good for sure, it's because I am not good at verbal communication but some one else with that can do much better than me even he/she is bullshit major.

Imagine again, you do my previous research job, can you do it even in not-so-good way?

That's the entry barrier which people need to study the ass off in their undergrad for that.

Let me restate my point

I am not talking whether your jobs or others business ones are easy or not

I am talking those things requires more on abilities instead of knowledge and those business major should be like minor but not major. People with those major, may have a start-off advantage than others but it's not crucial to me.

book just should you the direction, book is not the ture,
like my finger should you way of the road, but the finger is not the road

我睇法拉

You meant...shoot? instead of "should"?

c'mon ... if the education bureau can reform its current system and if student's future does not hinge on the public exam ONLY, i don't the teachers would not spoon-feed our youth :smile_22:

sorry is show, show you the direction
