Whats the difference between a marketing major and an advertising major?

I want to do marketing and advertising for my major, but they are different majors. Whats the difference? Which one is better and makes more money?

1. Advertising is a subset of marketing (as is public relations) Advertising is getting info about the product or service directly to the end user (consumer). Marketing encompases the entire presentation of the product or service including branding, packaging, market segmentation, etc. A marketing major has more options and can oversee those working in advertsing, therefore they have the potential to make more money.

2. advertising is like commercials, newspaper, radio. Marketing are people who make up ideas that go in the commercials, newspaper, or radio.
