- In this video I answer questions like "Should you study finance" or "Is a finance degree worth it?" I recently graduated college and am currently working at an investment bank in New York City so I wanted to provide some info on what jobs there are in finance, how much do finance jobs pay, and some tips on how you can get a job in investment banking or any other role in finance.
If you enjoyed the video at any point, leave a like and also comment below on your thoughts on majoring in finance. Did you think it was worth it? What are you doing with your finance degree now?

Really informative video as someone who is about to start their four years in college as a business major. It was refreshing to see someone who didn’t go the typical ivy path to land a top job out of college. Could you do a video on how you were able to get your job? Thanks!
Thanks man, glad I could be of help. I released a recent video talking about how I got my job.
if you get a finance degree and don't finish in the top of your class with tons of extracurriculars you will have issues landing jobs. I graduated with a Finance degree with a 3.4 GPA and I had to apply to 1000s of internships ads to get a spot as an Intern. Then I quit because corporate work is soul sucking and now I am a Math teacher.....
Agreed, it is much harder to make yourself stand out with a finance degree. Hope you're finding your current job more fulfilling!
Math degree is more respected and more versatile. Finance is easy to pick up. Also can prepare for a Masters in real estate investment and finance if going for real estate private equity or financial mathematics if going for quant
Very well put together video - earned a follow from me
Thank you Janice!
very informative video DUDE.
Glad to hear it!
@@aaron_yao from Eight month. i have seen your all videos , they all are informative (APPRECIATE).
Do you have any thoughts for someone wanting to do finance abroad
I would love to pursing my Degree at Finance,, but as a international student to work in the united states i need to study in STEM subject to get the 3 years OPT,, Finance is NON STEM subject,, I have already done one semester in greeting finace deggre,, but NON STEM
That sounds tough but keep going!
Bro I am currently pursuing my UG in B.E(ECE) after finishing my ug I have a plan of doing masters in USA, I had a little bit interest on finance and hedge fund sides,which course i want to choose in masters to become hedge fund manager ?!
Views on FRM?
Where can I get internships?
Linkedin, Indeed, and the company's job portal are a few good places to look.
What is better Finance or ACCounting ?
Finance generally has more upside but accounting can be a well paying, stable career as well but personally I don’t find it very interesting.
What do find interesting in finance ?@@aaron_yao
Did you double major?
No, just a finance major.
Hello Aaron, ¿Do you know some courses in finance that I can do on the internet (free or paid, but worth it)? I am looking to improve my knowledge and resume so they see more than a business degree.
I don't know of any online courses but I would suggest doing some personal projects and doing any finance related internship to improve your resume!
@@aaron_yao can you recommend any personal finance projects
Do I need solely a finance degree to make into Wall Street ? Could I just earn a minor in finance, studying poli sci as major ?
No you definitely don’t necessarily need a finance degree - just make sure to get relevant experience early on, most financial institutions are usually open to candidates from all sorts of different backgrounds!
