Ideal Students
What qualities should a marketing student have?
Marketing isn't for everyone. The field of marketing is a very exciting and rewarding career; however, students need to possess certain personality traits and characteristics to make it in the classroom as well as the world of marketing. Students need to be creative and self-motivated, they have to be able to work well in a team environment, they must learn to be detail-oriented, and they must understand that they will be put into a leadership role at times. There really is no one trait or list of specific traits, but a combination of these and many more.
