Given a choice between HR and Marketing, which one would you choose?

Two of the most prefered specializations that students choose in their MBA are HR and Marketing, other than Finance. Many students are skeptical about taking up Marketing as specialization as one does not become the VP of Marketing immediately after the course. There is a common perception that a student with Marketing specialization may even be placed as a sales representative in a firm, which is absolutely ridiculous considering the effort the student has to give to complete a MBA course. However, HR does not have any such options and the salaries for HR people are pretty good too. However, a science background is mandatory for HR. Which one do you prefer? Is one better than the other or are both of them equally lucrative?
How would you rate the following specializations on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best?
Finance
HR
Marketing
Information Systems Management

Lets talk about it guys!

hiiii..... frnds. as both field plays important role in it, but given me a choice i would prefer to go for marketing as this field ( as per my personal view) most important coz it is one which brings for an organisation revenue and if there is revenue then only other activities can be follwed it.

it all depends on your interest dear...

if someone is good at marketing, he will go for marketing and vice cersa for finance...like i did not like HR subjects but liked marketing subjects so i went ahead with marketing........

i wud prefer marketing as i think i m best at marketing
but both are equally important atlast intrest does matter

Correctly said by Chirag. It totally depends upon u in which area u are good, select that subject.

marketing.......as it involves a lot of creativity........................................ .................................................. ..............

hey everyone.. my choice would be marketing... hands down winner.... but it doesn't mean it has to be the same for all. whatever u take up make sure that u are actually intreated in the subject rather than jus lookin at it from the 'job' pint of view.
cheers

hi this is balu, and the choice between HR and Marketing deals significantly with the resources effective utilization and judge the people's mind and have business to the company. I will choose the marketing is the my choice because it deals with varies concepts and solutions to the problems and make appropriate solutions to the problem.

For sure.... marketing. that is where i belong and come from is full of worries and ecitement

hi....
i would definately go for marketing bcoz this is a place where u get exposed to the outer world, make new contacts and also get to know & deal with different kind of people....
