I’m really really interested in PR and love the field and would want to attend Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University if I were to do this, but I would be interested in eventually becoming a Marketing Manager. I know this sounds far off, but would it make sense to:

1. Major in PR and Minor in Marketing (not sure if OU has a marketing minor though)

2. MBA with specialization in Marketing

I’m really interested in both fields, but I believe marketing pays more. The only thing is to become a marketing manager, I would have to be a specialist or associate first, and that pays less than a PR Specialist does I believe so would that be down grading? Could I go from working in PR to working in marketing? Aren’t they closely related. What would anyone advise?
