  Focus: Marketing Makes Dollars and Sense


Piggy bankIt's not surprising that marketing is such a popular major within business — the money is great and the work is creative, analytical, and fun.

According to Salary.com, the average starting pay for an entry level job in marketing is $37,500, which rises over 16% to $43,000 with two years of experience. And the average Vice President of Marketing makes a cool $193,000.

Of course, VPs have an average of 15 years of marketing experience under their belts, but as they say, every journey starts out with a single step. Check below to see what schools offer marketing and other business degrees fully online.
