Both Marketing and Finance are equally good functional career options. You would have come to know if your interests in 3 years of BBA degree. You must choose functional specialization based on your interests to excel in your professional career. General principle to select between Marketing and Finance is as follows: "If you are good in numbers and introvert, finance can be a good option. If you are extrovert and have good people skills you may opt for Marketing"
