The first is the concept of career choice, which is just like choosing a major in a university. At that time, as high school students, we had limited social cognition and could only touch elephants blindly. Many parents are also confused, and in the end many people are not satisfied. Why are you not satisfied? Because at that time, many choices were based on the so-called "employment prospects" and "popularity". But as a college student, your ability has been greatly improved, and your understanding of society is more practical. What you lack is practical experience. As an experienced person, I can tell you for sure that although the staff of all units are so arrogant at the job fair, once they really enter the job, more than 80% of them do simple and repetitive mechanical work. No matter how strong your willpower is, all your enthusiasm will be exhausted by this boredom in a few years. The remaining 20% are engaged in challenging and innovative jobs. Although their income is more than 80% of social wealth, it can no longer be their driving force. Interest is not only the best teacher, but also the ultimate source of work enthusiasm. Where is a person's time, where is his success. If all you need is a well-paid job, you can follow the "prospect", but if you need a career that you can fight for all your life, you must listen to your heart and follow your interests. I don't need to tell you who is more likely to succeed.
② Brief analysis of financial industry. I majored in finance. Since I went to college, my tutors have been emphasizing an employment situation-the financial industry is an industry with surplus low-end talents and shortage of high-end talents. What do you mean? People who know accounting are everywhere, and CPA is too little; Securities companies are overcrowded and there are few sponsors; There are countless people with the name of "analyst", and very few have CFA or CIIA licenses ... If your ambition is really the financial industry, my suggestion is to take at least one relevant master's degree. Although degrees and licenses are only stepping stones, they are really important in our environment.
As for the foundation, as long as you work hard enough, whatever you do can be ignored. The theoretical basis of undergraduate major in finance is mainly memorizing things like conceptual theory, while the mathematical basis is not a problem for people like you who study mathematics in science and engineering. These are all simple financial calculations.
The application of financial analysis is actually very extensive, but it is not spread here, and it is very primitive, mainly concentrated in the securities industry. Practical work, involving risk control and value evaluation, is the core part of modern enterprise management, but it has not been paid attention to, and many large domestic enterprises have no relevant settings. However, there is a certain demand in securities, futures, funds and commercial banks, mainly to apply for some middle-level management positions, but generally do not want undergraduate courses.
