marketing education is garbage. you can pick up a few useful things but i have a few friends who majored in marketing and its bullshit.

at best it gives you a very basic knowledge of marketing and marketing research tools. then you know what areas you should look into to further your studies on your own.

a knowledge of psychology would help in understanding why people do certain things, but nothing beats experience.
