If you dislike sales, I would steer way far away from marketing. Many go into marketing thinking they will be working for advertising firms and market research agencies but end up in sales. Marketing is interesting indeed; but, if you don’t enter a top-tier marketing program, you are largely out of luck unless you already have connections in the field.

Economics, on the other hand, would be much more beneficial. With an economics degree, you have a good chance of filling non-technical positions. The public sector tends to hire economics degrees out of college, and most who go post-grad usually go to law school as you mentioned.
