I want to get into the money management for it seems exciting and fun to me. I’ve read up on what it’s like and what it pays. I think my biggest desire to do it however is so I can be well off financially sooner than later so I can enjoy my life…vs working all the time to make ends meet.
I’m down as a finance major, but not sure if the school I’m at would be of any help down the line since it’s not ranked anywhere.
I own my own small business that I started as a teenager in middle school and still run it part time to help pay for school. Any Colorado schools have a good rep in business/finance for what I want to do? I’d sell the business if needed, so if not in Colorado, what school(s) would you recommend?
Thanks!
Would DU (University of Denver) be a good local pick? What about CU Boulder (University of Colorado at Boulder)? Or are neither of these good enough?
Please take into consideration that:
1- I’m a female, hence does not want to be called at midnight to do some work.
2- like the idea of freelance job
yah and what about MSc in corporate finance?
ps. if anyone knows the average salary in Tokyo for finance, that will be a very helpful information.
I chose consulting instead of finance because I thought financial people made cold calls all day (just like the guys from ‘Boiler room’ or ‘Wall Street’) but I think that was just a foolish assumption. I also thought you had to be a Harvard MBA to be successful in Finance but all those people paying top dollar for apartments in NYC can’t be Ivy League guys, can they??
Did I make a mistake choosing consulting instead of finance? I think anyone could put up with long hours if it meant millions of dollars in compensation!
Is it just a case of the grass being greener?
