Now that I see you started with accounting the plot thickens lol Thank you for sharing! I work in accounting - straight out of HS - and have been thinking about going back to uni to complete my education to level up more quickly, but couldn't decide between majoring in accounting (for the sole reason that I'm already working in it and not necessarily passion, although there is some interest) or finance (which I'm actually interested in the courses - investing, financial planning and management; but may require an entire career shift and entry level as opposed to a higher position in accounting after a degree combines the over a decade of experience I have). The end goal is entrepreneurship/financial freedom, so I also consider simply focusing on building entrepreneurship instead of school/work. I figure I may as well get a degree and more income until that becomes more clear.
I’m a little bit at the same position as you in term of choices to do. My instinct is guiding me to a finance degree that’s good but the final purpose is to be financially independent, I also think that I can start focusing on savings and investments instead of getting back at uni. I’m working as a Relationship Manager for a Corporates and Investment banking, with my master degree in finance but but , all that in Africa cameroon . It’s not the same system in the US where I’m actually coming as a permanent resident with family. Difficult situation right ? 😅
I'm majoring in Finance but I haven't actually done any finance classes yet. I just know I like growing money so I figured it was a good choice lol. I have no idea what I want to do as a career but I know a finance degree will definitely be helpful in my personal aswell as my professional life.

IT and healthcare and pretty specialized paths. However, finance is such a broad field which allows for more opportunities and options when it comes to career growth. But I do get what you mean.
Finance is a broad degree man. I'd say if you're trying to become an investment banker you're gonna have to go to a top target school for that man. I'd recommend going with an accounting degree with a minor in finance. Cause you can literally do finance jobs with a Accounting degree as well.

Mortgage broker
update?
@@RealestClips but do you even need a college degree to be a mortgage broker though.. as I know many didn't.
Great video, as a current college student it really helps to hear your perspective.
Thank you! I’m glad I can provide a different perspective
Thanks love ❤️
What do you think about business administration with a concentration in finance? Debating in concentrating on finance or marketing .
Great video! Really loved hearing about your perspective!
Glad you enjoyed it!

LOL....Hell no!!!, one of the best degrees outside of IT and healthcare. Plenty of jobs available in the money business.

In summary: Learn excel. Think critically.
I regret mine i hate thinking too much at the job
how much u get paid
Is banking and finance a good program to do?
get into investment banking if youre into that, one of the most lucrative careers
Is it possible to become a financial analyst without a degree? Maybe through certifications?
No. You will have to have a BA degree.
is it possible to gain admission to study masters public finance without experience as international student
Pay more attention 🤣🤣
At least you know how to make money, leverage and dividends
Are you doing CFA?
