Thank you a lot. I am 10th student prelearning for Finance as I know this is a essential skill in daily life and found in your video some skills that I need to acquire that if not for it, I wouldn't have known the direction. Simply speaking, thank you very much!
I graduated with my finance degree in May and I don’t regret it but a lot of the concepts I learned are catered to Asset management/ IB / Private equity but ig I found out I don’t want to go in either of these industries so kinda find a lot of what I learned useless. I don’t regret my major but if I could do it over I’d rather get an accounting degree!
Ahh this is so me... I mean I'm in my 3rd year and next year I have to choose a major, I love marketing and I was confirmed that I will major in it but recently they changed the courses and all the useful courses are removed lol now they are offering almost useless marketing courses. Now I'm thinking about finance BUT I know I will hate my job, idk what to do.
Great info. Thanks ! Could you add a text tin your video summary below of all these classes. Helps in referencing quickly and doing copy/paste in searches.
Thanks Aaron, that was a very informative video. I'm planning to pursue a master degree in Financial Maths in the UK and your video brought light to which subjects I should consider. Maybe another video about your experience doing the internship in the UK next time?
Hi! Going into finance, starting my freshman year in under 3 weeks. I struggle with math a lot, but I never failed any courses in high school despite that. I got around a C- in precalc (68% as we don’t use letter grades where I live), do you think I can still be successful in this major? I’m a super dedicated student so my math issues are something deeper than slacking off, and besides math I am an A student.
Math has been the main subject that i’ve been talented in all my life, and finance seems to be the major that involves math and gets paid high. I honestly have no idea about finance, which is why i’m watching your videos. If i’m good with numbers, do you think finance is the right major for me? It’s hard to find a high paying career with math, so finance seems to be my way to go. Any thoughts? I’m going to be a senior next year and i’m going to start applying to colleges around the end of summer. So after you explain your thoughts, can you also recommend me some universities that are very good for finance? Thanks!
Finance definitely involves math but some parts of finance require more math than others. The part of finance that involves math and statistics the most is quantitative trading, which also happens to be one of the highest paying areas of finance. UChicago is considered one of the best schools for quantitative finance, spawning multiple Nobel prize winning graduates. Best of luck on your journey and lmk if you have any more questions!
im graduating with a bba in finance, and realized that I only need 4 more classes for an ecnonmics degree as well. From looking at the job market requirements, doesn't seem like having a double major in economics would really be worth the time compared to say an internship. Would you agree?
Kinda of a late comment but I’m debating on going into finance because I love stocks and ETFs and real estate investing. But not a huge math fan. Would you still say it’s a good idea to go into finance and how easy is it to learn the math
@@hua.y they are but the difference is in BS Finance you will only focus on finance courses more, and rest will be accounting, economics and law. In BBA Finance you will learn basically everything from accounting to marketing, supply chain, human resources, law everything and you will take less classes of finance compared to BS.
Just finished my college on Finance degree from New York, I’ve no internship or any experience so what do you suggest me to start with for career job related to my degree?
Depends on what you want and are interested in! Do you want to see more tangible impacts of helping people or do you want to be part of the financial system that fuels global growth and innovation but is harder to see the impacts?
Dang it I choose my career too late I want to major in finance now I’m a sophomore in college and the only business class I took was prin of macroeconomics what some tips to help me get on business track so I don’t waste the rest of my college years
@@undeadvictor Go summer school route. Also going another semester or two (5th yr) is ok too. Companies want interns that have solid knowledge. Target your rising senior summer for a serious internship (or before your 5th yr). Other summers are good for work, and being around a business.
So I am a incoming freshman to college. I am a declared accounting major. But I heard accounting is rly boring. Not sure if I should major in accounting with a minor in CIS or major in finance with a minor in CIS. What do you think ??
Accounting indeed is very boring to most people so I would recommend against majoring in it unless you are actually interested in accounting. Finance generally has a more wide range of applications and career trajectories. Hope that helps!
Naturally as an Asian I had a 4.0 unweighted 😅 as for the major, I think it was relatively easy compared to other majors like computer science and engineering. Only time I had to pull an all nighter was to cram for an accounting exam lol. Risk management course was also quite challenging since it dealt with derivatives.
I’d say accounting is only necessary if you’re looking to be an accountant, otherwise you’ll learn basic accounting as part of the finance curriculum and a finance degree would be better paired with something like comp sci, stats, or math, if you’re thinking about doing a double major.
@@aaron_yao I was thinking of economics but heard job opportunities can be rough after college. thought of maybe a double major of that and finance but alot of people recommend doing a accounting of some kind of computer or data analysis minor. What do you think would be most applicable and best for boosting job opportunity?
Interesting question - I think eventually AI probably will reach the level where it can synthesize enough information to squeeze the pricing inefficiencies out of markets but maybe not in our lifetimes. So in the meantime, the finance industry is generally safe from my perspective.
@@aaron_yaoif I decided to learn finance from the internet where would I start? There are a lot of videos and concepts and it’s overwhelming because I’m not sure what information to consume
@@dontae2765 Honestly, go down the route you're interested in! For me, I was really interested in stocks so I started learning about the stock market, which led me to options, then derivatives, and then so on so forth.
IIm 30 years old from Latin America. Thinking on getting a US masters degree. I have 7 years experience in treasury management and emerging markets. What would you recommend?

The fact you can do an internship and your full classes is impressive to me. I could barely handle classes and making sure my grades were good.
Actually the program was split into two halves where the first half was school and the second half was an internship - sorry if that wasn't clear!

Man college apps are due soon and finance degree sounds fun, but Im just learning about it. Hopefully I can get into a solid college with this major.
Good luck man!

Awesome video, I’d love to see a ‘Deep Dive’ video on some more advanced financial topics and tasks that you specifically worked on.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Managerial Accounting was kinda difficult for me this summer. 😅 the math was kinda eh....
its extremely counterintuitive especially coming out of financial accounting
Thanks, pal. This was very helpful
Happy to hear that!
This was a really helpful video and it painted such a good picture of what life at the University of Connecticut would be like as a finance student!

amazing, just what I was looking for , it would be great if you can name some books for these courses as I am a self-taught. thank you.

Can i do an accounting and finance degree with a macbook or are the excel limitations a real problem ?
I think you can still get Excel on a Mac but yes Excel is the industry standard.
Do you have any books that you think would help get my brain into a financial perspective?

The day to day math is very basic, probably algebra level at most so I wouldn't say its very hard to learn!
is it that you have a Bachelor of Science in Finance or Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance?

Would you consider finance a very tough major? I am interested in it.
Have you done a master's degree? If not would you consider one? Probably likely in something in art considering your direction nowadays
I haven't - I have definitely considered it but so far haven't felt a need to.
Thank you
