I was thinking of taking a marketing as a technical elective (just for fun since it seems interesting)...but is market useful for engineers? Anyone actually have to use marketing skills in their jobs/careers?

Just keep in mind that marketing is the most powerful form of evil known to mankind, so tread lightly.
While I agree with the general comment, I think engineers should be well-rounded in useful ways. Marketing is not something a typical engineer will need for a decade after they leave school, which is too long for it to be useful. If the goal of the OP is a liberal arts elective that is useful to an engineer, I can think of many others that would be more imediately useful: economics, writing, ethics, leadership/managment, etc.A good engineer is well rounded.
