What are (unique) jobs with a Business/Marketing degree?
I am thinking about majoring in Business with a concentration on marketing. What kind of jobs are there (and details of the jobs)? Are there any kind of unique/different jobs with this degree? Does it only deal with math?

There is absolutely nothing unique that will set you apart for the other 100,000 Business Majors that are pumped out on a daily basis. You would be better of getting a degree in underwater basket weaving, atleast people would remember you.

Do you like talking with people? Can you sell them on an idea, product or yourself? Marketing deals with putting a product in front of people (the right people who will buy the product). It is about putting two groups of people together. People with an idea and people that want to make that idea work.
Find what you have a passion for and major in a field that will get you into that job. Do what you love to do and you will never “work” a day in your life. Do what you love and money will follow. You will be happy and content with what you do.

Try online marketing. It do not require any rigorous activities at all, you just have to follow some simple and basic guidelines in making your very first sale and making you richer by lots of $$$$$.
All you have to do is to sign up to and you will be rewarded with up to $45 signup bonus. Achieve your first sale and you’ll have more.

There are different sectors of marketing with different skills required.
Math & Analytical:
Marketing Research – studies demographics and researches information that will likely change the target audience of the product
Creative Side:
Branding & Product Management – deals with managing the product packaging and design, testing, and placement, all based on the research that was presented
Advertising – deals with promoting the products into the media and onto the streets, into the people’s minds, once again based on the research findings
Sales:
Sales – the basic marketing of presenting the product on an individual level, usually paid by commission
Now, the larger the company, the more specialized employees will be. A huge corporation will have entire research team and a separate ad team, but smaller companies will have people that are knowledgeable in all the areas. Advertising agencies also hire marketing majors with great creativity.
If you like english, math, psychology, statistics, and creativity, or a combination of a few of these, you’re in the right field! Most marketing programs allow you to choose from a pool of classes so you can refine your skills in a specific area and go for jobs related to it.
