<p>Hi everyone! </p>
<p>Currently, I am a Finance/Management double major with a minor in Economics. I have learned through talking to many people in the finance field and other fields that I am not fit to work in a cubicle or a bank. </p>
<p>I see myself working in a Corporate setting of a fashion/entertainment business like Sony or J.Crew for example. My question is should I stick with the Finance and Management double major with a minor in Economics or change to Economics and Management with a minor in Finance? Or what would you guys suggest? Is it worth majoring in Finance if you are not interested in that line of work in a bank?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Or should I consider a major like Accounting and something else?</p>
<p>You don’t need to change anything because you are on the right track.</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
<p>Do you REALLY believe that just because you are working in a glamourous industry that you will avoid the cubicle/office work that comes along with being in an entry level corporate position?</p>
<p>You WON’T be meeting fashionites or celebrities and flying around the world previewing new lines. Your BOSSES will be doing that. You WILL be working in a cubicle, going to meetings, etc - just like EVERYONE else who majors in business and goes on to a corporate environment.</p>
<p>I am amazed when people think that because they choose a high-profile industry that their corporate experience will be vastly different than others. WAKE UP.</p>
<p>Why are the accounting majors on this board so insecure? Is it because they’re scared they made the wrong decision so they spend all their time on here trying to justify it to themselves?</p>
<p>Thank you Toshtemirov and Inmotion 12 for your helpful advice!! Have a great Thanksgiving!</p>
<p>What good advice did Inmotion give you?</p>
<p>Sorry if my honesty hurt your little feelings! Have fun working in your cubicle! It’s INEVITABLE.</p>
<p>I love that big4bound has obviously been SO successful in business that he has all the time in the world to come on collegeconfidential and give awful advice and tell everyone they’re headed nowhere.
What a loser.</p>
<p>I bet anything he’s unemployed. One of the seventeen accountants nationwide that couldn’t find a job.</p>
<p>Finance and Management seems like a great dual major, but the others are right - in order to progress in the industry you’ll need to start out working in a cubicle. Good luck man.</p>
<p>I would agree with the above posters that regardless of industry (entertainment, fashion) you will be doing quite a bit of work in a cubicle. I majored in Accounting in undergrad, and I think it is useful to consider minoring or at least taking a few classes because a lot of the “corporate finance” side of companies like Sony or J.Crew involves a lot of accounting.</p>
<p>Lexsi…this coming from someone who is posting on this website during the wee hours of Saturday? ROFL.</p>
<p>FutureVpFinance, I see you have loads of time. Considering you’ve posted here 350 times in 4 months.</p>
<p>well, thats the only way ppl chance me, if I chance them first. I waste the other half of my posts on numskulls like you, unfortunately.</p>
<p>I work 40 hours a week, am taking 17 credit hours, sleep 8 hours a night, and have a girlfriend and baby girl to spend time with, yet I still find time to post on this site. You know why? Because it only takes about 5-15 minutes out of my day and requires about zero amount of effort. You can’t determine what kind of life somebody has based on how many posts they have on here.</p>
<p>exactly. I’m not on here that often, but when I am I post like 20 comments in only 5 minutes.</p>
<p>Well yeah… I obviously don’t have time to post during the day or night - I work and go to college! Sorry ;)</p>
