Is Marketing really a good major????

I aspire to major in marketing at NYU Stern after I graduate high school (I’m a junior). I know marketing is a pretty popular major across the country, which is kind of exactly what’s scaring me. Is it too popular? Are there enough jobs for everyone? I doubt it. However, I’ve taken a marketing class here at my high school and loved it, which made me want to major in it in college. I guess it’s not necessarily that its a popular major and that there may be a significant amount of people in my class in college, but maybe the fact that I really want a stable job that pays well in the future and I’m worried that I won’t have that and that my life will be a constant cycle of getting hired and fired. I understand that an MBA in marketing would help a lot but I still feel as though even with an MBA, there’s still too many people with any sort of marketing degree and not enough jobs. What can I do to stand out from everyone else? Is a marketing degree really worth it? I’m really scared for my future.
