I relate more easily to finance but I think it’s just an easier degree.

I’m certainly not passionate about engineering but I can be interested.

I didn’t do well in the hard sciences in high school but then again I never studied.

Corporate finance: Easy for me (as for most people). I can finish a 4-year degree in 3 years (including one year of internships) and add another year of internships for good measure, graduating with 2X the work experience of my colleagues. And then go for an MBA. But, there are zillions of finance graduates. A job, if I find one (which is hard), would start at around ,000.

I don’t really know if I have the charisma, persuasiveness and social skills that are essential to make it big in finance as a stock broker, investment banker, hedge fund manager, etc. I’m a loner.

Petroleum engineering: Very difficult and boring if I don’t get really involved from day one. I can finish a 4-year degree in 3 years if I kill myself, but not with internships. It’s not hard to find internships after graduation, though. The subjects would be challenging but I think as long as I attend my lectures and labs and do my coursework I’ll be fine. Jobs are supposedly plenty and a salary can start at ,000 or more. I even heard of some 0K starting salaries.

I don’t need to be a great people person. I get paid well to do important and specialized work.

With an engineering degree an MBA is still possible, but not the other way around. I can look for a job and do my MBA at the same time — the salary would be enough.

I’m starting college all over again at 22 and I want to make the right choice this time. I want to be a wealthy worker.

Hi, I am an Italian student planning to come in the US in an Exchange program. My local college (Bocconi) offers me several possibilities, among which I have found these two universities; I’m studying corporate finance, and I was wondering which of these two has the best reputation/teaching quality in this particular field.
thx!

Hi, i plan to study Bachelor of Finance at Australian National University, however i have to choose to major in either of "corporate finance and investment management" or "quantitative finance". From what i udnerstand, corporate finance is more theoritical and has to do with business financing while quantitative finance has to do with math. could someone tell me more about both subjects? what kind of job can you get after studying each of these?

FYI I have a very strong mathematical background but i dont like computer programing. I did very well (not bragging) in all the other subjects in highschool as well. I do have interest in math but i want to study somehting that would help me secure a gd job. what do you suggest?

I am going to study in Portland State University and I was just wondering what I will be doing after my major(undergrad) in Finance. Majoring in finance what do you also think i should continue in so that I can be a professional in Banking and corporate finance.
