Advertising or Marketing?

So I am probably going to BU this fall and I am in the arts and sciences school right now. I’m going to attempt to transfer right away, but I’m not sure to which school yet. The School of Communication(COM) has the advertising department, while the School of Management (SMG) has the Marketing department. I’m having trouble deciding which.

I’m more of a creative person who enjoys working with ideas more than numbers so advertising appeals to me in that sense. However, I am really enjoying the personal finance class I am in right now, almost to the extent that I want to be in business.

Advertising has less numbers, but its pay is probably less than marketing.

I’m having trouble deciding, what do you guys think?
