Is Finance a Good Major? Best Jobs in Finance?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 сер 2024
- Hi! In today's video, I talk about my thoughts on majoring in finance and later having a career in finance. When considering this option, there are two main values you want to evaluate: (1) money potential and (2) happiness potential. You need to be going into the job with your eyes open, and understand that there is opportunity to make a lot of money in finance, but it also involves a lot of time, work and sacrifice to get to that stage.
I personally majored in finance which led to my first full-time job out of college in investment banking, and felt that my degree was worthwhile since it allowed me the opportunity of having a stable, well-paying job right out of college. However, I also learned the hard way that there were many things I had to sacrifice along the way, and frequently debated to myself whether this idea of delayed gratitude was worth it in the long run.
If you are considering doing a degree in finance, or a career in finance, I hope you found this video helpful. The end of the video shares a multitude of careers in finance to give you a flavor of the career opportunities at hand. If you are interested in learning more about my experience working in finance, check out the rest of my channel for other videos.

I have an uncle that used to work in finance and retired early at 50 a wealthy man (roughly $45 million). He had no trouble adjusting to retirement and never is bored. Between music, travel, friends etc he is has adjusted just fine.
Your uncle sounds like he's living the life!
@@angelasunx3 Indeed he's not from the states though he's from Colombia. And I said roughly 45 million because that I believe is the correct conversion rate from pesos.
@@AmazingStoryDewd Even better! That's a ton of pesos
What did he do!?
hit my 2 mil goal at 35 including mortgage. quits job, sells fried chicken & kimchi. did well and now wife wants 2 more kids.
mulling over a vasectomy.
1:38 That is so true, IB life is like an addiction, the more you are in it, the harder it is to stop.
And the thing is that most people don't want that lifestyle to end, and you end up giving your intire life to a meaningless job.
The funny part is that I still wanna get in.😂😂😂
It's a vicious cycle!
This was great! I go to college in the fall of this year and for the last year I’ve been researching Finance majors the most. The college I’ll attend has many different types of emphasis (idk how to say it exactly) like energy, banking, management/investment, and real estate. I’ve gone with management/investment emphasis because I’m a little unsure what the rest mean exactly? Could you give me some advice? Thank you!
Sounds like the least niche out of the ones you mentioned, so sounds like a good major! I'd see what the classes are too / if you're interested
I'm not a finance or accounting degree, but I worked as finance back then, now accounting. Then I trade crypto
Best of luck, hope everything's going well!
Hi MixSona! Which is better for you, being an Accounting degree or Finance?
Why does nobody talk about Commercial Banking, Compliance and Investor Relations ? Sure they might not pay as good but there is way less competition and Work-Life balance so much better.
Would like to see more info on those as well! Personally don't know as much on the first two
When people think of finance they immediately think about investment banking. But there has to be other finance related jobs that offer a better a work life balance and more fulfillment right?
Yes there are!
@@angelasunx3 Could you please tell me of some? I've tried really hard to find something in finance with a good work-life balance and fulfillment, but it seems everything requires you to work long hours.
@@angelasunx3 waiting on your answer
Take in mind, that getting a job with that degree is not easy. Usually, you would end up in sales... or sum unrelated to finance
It isn't too difficult to get jobs with a finance degree! Since most corporations have a finance function
I am interested in the markets after trading in the stock market for a year but I am not sure if I want to be an investment banker or be in business management. I am currently a freshmen in college and I can't seem to decide
You can likely start off in investment banking and then go into more of a management role, really up to you to decide! Would recommend doing your research and speaking with different people.
You can take the NMLS exam and be an Loan officer with a finance degree but not required
I feel the same about management consulting. I wouldn't like to travel that much on a regular basis.
Great video 👌🏻
Agree same with me
Another great video!! Very helpful , thank you
Thanks for watching!
I want to be a portfolio manager at a top hedge fund firm and become the king of Wall Street 😏💰 👑
Go get em 💪🏼
@@angelasunx3I feel like you being sarcastic 😭😭
@@davontawilliams3958 I mean it!
@@angelasunx3 😎🤙🏾
Me too bro .... 🙂
Overlooked jobs with a finance degree: Insurance agent, insurance underwriter, insurance adjuster.
Yes!!
Very useful video. Iam doing MBA in finance
Thanks Venkat!
Greeneye shade CPA auditor fewer hours only during our busy season great learning experience work on variety of clients. Can build up experience move into transaction advisory and investment banking. Accounting is a good alternative to finance
Thanks for your insight Kevin!
Great video, everything was laid out clearly and concisely.
Glad it was helpful!
is it true that to get the top finance jobs after college u pretty much need to go to an ivy or target school (or have strong connections in the finance world)
You don't - it helps though
You forgot to mention majoring in finance can lead to a UA-cam channel!
YES! V important
Can I ask how a Finance degree is associated with Management Consulting ? I'm curious
Companies often worry most about bottom line. They expect management consultants to help them improve productivity and revenue so it helps to have a background in finance / accounting
Hi .. just wanted to know which is the most demanding certification for long of short duration anyhow ? Thanks ☺️
Hi Mohammed, thanks for your question - not sure if I understand
Another banger!!!
Haha thanks thanks
Hi Angela. Recently discovered your channel. Great content and videos. Based on your experience, what is your opinion/advice on entering the financial services industry a bit later (late-mid twenties to late twenties) through the MBA route? Coming from a corporate finance background during my earlier twenties, I have my reservations as to if IB makes sense. Especially if I could just very likely end back in corporate finance. Corporate development and PE does sound very enticing and interesting. Would I need to "sacrifice" a few years in IB to open those doors?
Hi Fermin - if your ultimate goal is to go into corporate development or PE, you do not have to first go into investment banking if you already have an MBA. Usually people do investment banking first to go into those roles right out of undergraduate. However, an MBA can allow you to go into either of those roles without first having the IB experience. If you are interested in getting IB experience first, would do so, but if not, you can go into either of those other roles direct. I will digress though that it's possible to get into PE after an MBA, but you'll also be competing with a lot of people who have one or two years of IB experience, so it'll be important to get some experience while doing your MBA.
I wouldn’t recommend studying finance, I’d recommend studying computer science with a finance elective. Even jobs like analysts will be gone in future, it’s going to be a bunch of quants training ML models. The best systems I’ve seen are spotting patterns humans simply wouldn’t be able to see, it’s terrifying and exciting.
CS is definitely really helpful - a lot of people also do Finance majors with CS minors. Agree that tech is starting to replace S&T, but there are a lot of other jobs in finance that are largely based on human relationships with one another that can't be replaced.
Lol bro it's DCF not asset allocation, even the work of an investment banking analyst can't be automated (building PowerPoint ) do your reaserch.
@@slymanmustafa134 if you think technology isn't capable of presenting it's research please google GPT-3.
@@angelasunx3 thanks for the response - yes agreed the human relationship side of things can't be automated (for now) but i'd argue a finance major isn't needed for that - the best i've seen in this game have degrees in things like classics and those with finance degrees are just doing number crunching work i.e. the type of activity that is ripe for automation.
@@pondeify google what the job of an investment banking analyst , because what it seems you don't have any idea what's it.
Hello,
Is it possible to get into bulge bracket investment banks if I graduate with a finance degree from Baruch College’s Zicklin School of Business?
Definitely
For some reason I chose finance over economics at uc berkeley I messed up :(
you are smart and will be successful become an entrepreneur
Finance is good if that's what you want to go into!
I’m still in high school and can’t decide between finance and economics, which one has more and better job opportunities?
@@gabrielprodanovic if your college provides double major then do both finance and econ...my country doesn't have it...i am also torn between two....i like economics but In terms of job finance has an edge. You can pair it with something like accounting also.
Awesome video, thank you ;)
Thanks for watching Adrian!
Hey Angela, what is your opinion about prop trader? Do they make lots of money? Do they use fancy techniques? Are they all day trader or do they focus on macroeconomic trend also?
Honestly don't know enough about them to tell you!
Very helpful, keep up the good content :)
Thanks so much! You as well!
If I want to be a real estate agent when I grow up would finance be a good thing to major in to help with real estate?
Yep it'd be helpful although not directly related
I think I found a new better job for my future underwater welding would be better for me because you can still clear 300k and only work half the year
Sounds like the dream
@@angelasunx3 well I think it will be a lot eseyer even tho it's very dangerous because I can take most of the classes like welding and diving in school and not have to go to college
What job
Hi Angela! I am wondering if what is the best course choice in college, Accountancy or Fianance?
Depends on your interests!
Hi, in short
Accounting: you deal with past information to generate reports for internal & external holders, whilst complying with your regulations depending on your country. Accouting in general is probably less stressful, but works well if U can do a double major of finance and accounting, to do corporate finance.
Finance: there different types of finance (as mentioned in the video), but the one that will pay u the most is when you have these skills: high apptitude of (maths, statistics, coding (python, C++) excel VBA.)
-2nd year/4 finance and accounting major.
Hi Angela great video! what do you think of compliance
It could be a good career! A lot of transferable communication skills, business knowledge and risk management skills
Should I take Computer science instead? I love it but i’m having doubts because i might not get a job
Comp sci is a v useful class, and there are tons of job opps that use it. Wouldn't worry about that!
What if you go to a in state university will finance be good. I hear to work at those big companies only hire ivy league tier
They also hire from state universities, not just ivy leagues
Hello angela , thank you for your informative video , i’m a finance graduate in 2020 , i got an offer to join SAP (young professional program ) i’m doubting joining it i want to start my career in a finance related job do you think if i join SAP will get me into finance related job ? & what do you think of SAP young professional program in general ?
I don't know too much about the SAP program, but took a quick look online and it seems like a noteworthy program to join. Congrats on the offer!
I am a data analyst but now I want to get in private equity or hedge fund so please reply how I can do it 🙄🙄
Data analyst roles could be relevant in hedge funds but would recommend getting a stepping stone internship/job that's more related
She said they’re the ones doing the molly and talking to people lol
hi angela can you tell me what books did you use ( finance ) when you were in collage? Thank you❤️
In my experience from first year student, I feel finance is more where you learn through experience rather than textbook knowledge. (Only benefit of textbook, is trying to be financial literate and know definitions which eventually comes from experience)
Though, buy books that try to teach analyse financial statements and books about economics
ofcourse, I am still a student (no real life experience) but that's how I would appraoch my career..
Oh, and be a gun in excel, and programming too
Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers and Acquisitions is a good one to use if you're interested in investment banking/finance textbooks. Darren's right though in that a lot of the skills you use at work are learned through experience rather than textbooks.
Great content and videos.
Glad you like them!
Love it 👍
Thanks!
Really helpful!
Thanks Edward!
helpful video!!
I'm glad! :)
Im thinking of majoring in economics but also want to go to finance to learn about credit, entrepreneurship, investing, banking, stocks, commerce . Not sure which to pick ?? Help
Depends on what you're more interested in for your career / the classes you find more interesting
@@angelasunx3 I mean I think finance now but does it cover investing, how to read stock charts, credit cards, commerce? Like around there
@@alexguanga1499 Usually no, at least not in foundational finance courses. It's more like accounting, statistics, corporate finance. You'd have to see what classes your school offers beyond those.
@@angelasunx3 i see tiktok people who say they had a bachelors in finance. But if I want to learn how to trade or invest in stocks and learn personal finance what should I major/minor in
@@alexguanga1499 I'm currently in the same place as you are. I want to major in finance but economics seems to look more into the stock market. I really don't know what to choose as well.
i did chemistry :c
Hope ya liked it!
@@angelasunx3 the pay sucks!!
Great video
Thanks Nikhil!

what do you think of sales roles- sales & trading in global markets & private wealth management? would you feel both are good as a long term career?
compared to other sales roles such as b2b tech sales
S&T and Private Wealth Management are both good careers. However, for S&T there's a concern with automation replacing roles. Personally don't know much about B2B Tech Sales roles so I can't comment on that!
@@angelasunx3
1) i see, so you feel S&T it is better to go to the trading side to avoid automation at the sales side within the next 5-10 years?
2)As a fresh grad, Would you say the better sales career path is private wealth management sales over S&T then?
3)As a fresh grad, are there any other sales roles u recommend within finance?
would appreciate if you can do a career video w regards to the 2 roles or any sales roles you know of :)
Do you have a BA or a BS in Finance? Thanks!
BS
