First of all, I want to say that the employment prospects of finance undergraduates are not so pessimistic. Basically, all the recruitment of banks and securities companies are finance and finance majors, so the demand for enterprises is still quite large ~ Of course, very popular banks like Citigroup and HSBC have high requirements, at least master students. However, the requirements of the four major banks and city banks are still not so high ~ undergraduates can ~ and they value your internship experience more, and your education is second, but the higher the better ~
Then there are four second degrees offered in our school, namely, law, English, financial management and finance, which I also intended to learn at that time, so I consulted my teacher, who told me that "a second degree is not very helpful." If you must study, law and financial management will be more useful. Moreover, our second degree is held on weekends, so after weighing it, I gave up my second degree and went to take various certificates.
However, there is a classmate in my dormitory who studies a second degree in law, and I have attended several classes with her. Frankly speaking, it is very difficult if you really want to learn something, because the teacher is very watery in class ... If you mix a diploma, it will be ok, because the final exam is also very loose, and the score is not bad ~
As for your second degree in information and computing science, I personally think it is of little use to employment and postgraduate entrance examination ~ because it is just now. Because almost all the people I meet are banks and securities companies, they are OK as long as they see finance, and then in fact, what they mainly strive for is internship experience and skills. As I mentioned earlier, internship experience is really important for employment! It is strongly recommended that you use your vacation time to practice from your sophomore year! Skills actually refer to all kinds of books. I simply recommend a few, because you are only a freshman, and you have plenty of time. It is very useful to try as many test sites as possible!
in terms of computers, we took a "Computer Level 2" certificate. We studied Visual Fox at that time, so we took the VFP. You can choose which Level 2 certificate to take according to your own study. If you think it is not enough, you can try a Level 3 certificate, so the preparation for computers is enough. State-owned enterprises and foreign companies only look at computers, but they don't recognize double degrees!
In English, CET4 and CET 6 are basically necessary ~ Then if you have higher requirements for yourself, you can take BEC (Cambridge Business English), intermediate and advanced ~ If you have confidence, you can directly take advanced ~ If you have this BEC certificate, your English ability will be fully demonstrated ~
In accounting, it is recommended to take CPA, which is of course difficult to take ... Because that's what their recruitment requirements are! No, no way! And if you want to enter China Merchants Securities, the five doors are slightly competitive!
these are the main employment certificates, such as the futures qualification certificate, which has a time limit. You can calculate the time to study professional courses before taking the exam. In short, these books are the more,the better!
Postgraduate entrance examination: To be honest, the second degree has nothing to do with postgraduate entrance examination. If it is postgraduate entrance examination, others will only look at your grades, not your undergraduate education. If it is an insurance research, three ways are recommended: one is to publish articles in core magazines; One is to win the prize of mathematical modeling competition; There is also one who is among the best in the grade, and the number of candidates who enter each college is within the range of ~
So in summary, I suggest not taking a second degree ~ and what you said is not helpful for the employment of finance students! Simply put, it is best to have some skills in accounting, law and English for financial majors.
There are many notebooks I mentioned, some of which are very difficult, and some of them are the best. If you don't have them, it doesn't mean it's over. If you don't have them, you must pay attention to your internship!
Let's put it in order: employment-internship is the most important thing, followed by various certificates.
Postgraduate entrance examination-there must be achievements in study and scientific research.
I said a big article, which is my senior sister's suggestion ~ I hope it can help you ~ ~
