Finance and Economics are the best majors

[sternie2014]

Forreal doe. So i'm chilling in training and the MD giving a speech is like ok how many of you are bus/fin/econ majors and 80% of the analysts raise their hands. I'm sitting there lol'ing at the other lib arts majors (they're cool though 'cause they're from elite schools). Anyway the average salary in my analyst class is 70k, signing bonus is 10k and last year's year end bonus average was 50k = 130k.

The average age is 22.5 Come at us.

Is it really all about the money? Wtf drives people to study business, finance, accounting, etc besides money? Never understood how someone can grow a passion for that...

Is it really all about the money? Wtf drives people to study business, finance, accounting, etc besides money? Never understood how someone can grow a passion for that...

Life? It's all about the bucks kid. The rest is just conversation.

I have talked to a number of people who followed exercise related careers because it was their "passion", now regret it because they have a kid and have to work overtime to support it. Money may not be important now, but it will be when you have a family, want to go on vacations, want to retire.

I switched my major back to business and I'm looking at starting salaries better than I could have gotten with a master's degree in exercise science.

If target school, then yes. If not then lolno

I don't advocate college outside the targets so this is a moot point.

I actually don't imagine myself doing anything else, and actually enjoy
learning about business, finance etc. Maybe because of my father, not sure.
Business Studies was one of my fav. subjects at school.

Even though I'd love to work in finance, I know it will be VERY hard to get
a job in the field out of Uni so I'm doing Accg/Finance and hoping that
maybe at a later date into my Accg. career I'll get a chance at a finance position.

lol wat

[demoniclizard]

You know why those majors make a lot of money? Because people who are smart enough to do it don't want to sell their soul for a lifetime of meaningless work. Have fun dying with money in the bank but having not accomplished anything worthwhile in your life.
