Woman What do you do? 

Man Well, I am attending NEU, short for National Economics University. I am a Finance major, and initially I just put Finance as a default because everyone else seems to be doing it. But gradually, I’ve grown fonder of this field. I know the technical side of it can be quite daunting and off-putting to some people, but once you get the hang of the basic principles it becomes very fascinating. 

W What do you like about your major? 

M Well, what I love about Finance is that it offers a range of career options. The skill sets of finance-related jobs are also transferable, so you can easily switch to something else if you want to.  Of course, if the movie The Wolf of Wall Street is any indication, it is an incredible lucrative profession as well, and that never hurts.

W What do you dislike about your school? 

M As wonderful as NEU is, I guess there are several things that leave a little to be desired, like the most schools. For example, I think the facilities are not quite up to par and the capacity of the learning facilities is not enough to accommodate the whole student population. I do hope this will change soon.

W What are you going to do when you graduate? 

M Well, as I was saying, there are so many directions you can go when you’re a Finance major, and lately I’ve been gravitating toward banking. Of course, when you first start out, you have to do entry-level jobs like bank teller which I guess can be quite mundane and repetitive. But if you are tenacious, you will advance quite quickly and maybe, with a bit of luck, climb to the position of bank manager – that’s when the money starts rolling in.
