    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!

    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!

    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.

    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?

    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 ??

    • @aaron_yao
      @aaron_yao  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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!

      ​@@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.

    What do you think about double majoring in both finance and accounting?

    • @aaron_yao
      @aaron_yao  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      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.
