Hello guys,
I am currently studying Business Administration and I have to choose a specialization for my last two semesters. I have no preferences and I am still very unsure about my choice. I have read MJs Fastlane & Unscripted and in it he emphasizes again and again how important marketing is for every company. But I'm unsure whether the marketing I learn in my university will be really applicable. I am in the process of teaching myself programming as my first skill (thank you Fox ) right now. For this reason I am also considering computer science but I don't see how it will benefit my coding skills. I'll just add below which topics each specialization contains and maybe you can write what course would benefit me the most to work as a freelancer. Please don't get me wrong, I don't want you to take the decision for me, but I've learned a lot in this forum and would love to hear your opinions. And maybe it is interesting for some of you to see what we get taught at European universities. Thanks for reading and your time.
