Well, what interests you the most? And what area of marketing do you think would appeal to you? Are you more of a people person, likes to get out and socialize, someone who would be good working with clients? Or are you more creative, does it appeal to you to help design or write marketing campaigns? Do you want to market products or are you interested in doing something more like PR work (marketing people, who are sometimes also products, like celebrities or politicians)? Obviously you wont’ know all the answers to your questions now, but they’re good to start thinking about.

In the meantime, major in something that you think is interesting and something that you enjoy. And check out the entrance requirements of top graduate schools for business, find out what courses they want you to have taken, I bet they will probably include at least a little econ. At the intro levels, there is not very much math involved in econ anyway, so it’s a good idea if you’re interested in business to at least take intro macro/intro micro and maybe also intermediate (though for intermediate econ you need to have studied statistics).
