should i do marketing or advertising for my college degree?

i'm currently a freshman majoring in advertising in college, but after looking at some internships for "marketing majors only" i think marketing might be a better future career field to venture into because it seems more involved in the "design, plan, and collaborate" aspects that i like.

both marketing and advertising are fairly similar from the research i have done, but i'm still unsure if i should switch majors and thus not using some of the classes i am currently taking.

any thoughts/advice about my situation? does marketing have more appeal/prestige than an advertising major?

    Marketing will give you a broader range of skills and options than advertising.

    Go for marketing, but include advertising as a minor or at least learn a good bit about it.
