<p>So I am a Junior and starting to learn I really hate my major. </p>
<p>I am also taking a business law class and finding that I am good at it and really like it. I am also really good at writing and reading. I love learning about international culture and speak Chinese and Polish. I am interested in working in the make up or fashion industry, or maybe in politics or law. ( Two opposite things, but they are both areas I like )</p>
<p>So...no idea why I am taking Finance. I started interviewing with companies and just really hate the sound of all the jobs, being in a boring office all day and crunching numbers. I want something more exciting.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any idea what kind of major would be good for me? x.x Or should I stick with Finance and just go to law school or graduate school to do something else? I want to be able to get a job when I graduate, but I do not work at a place I will hate and in a field I do not like, regardless of how well they pay me.</p>
<p>take a job if offered one. work there for a few years and save up your money. then go back to school a few years down the road and do what you want to do. </p>
<p>All of the other fields you mentioned do not require a specific major (politics, law, fashion). At least Finance is a somewhat versatile business major if you find another business-related field that interests you more. I have to agree with brahski - just finish the Finance degree if you are doing fine in your classes. If there are any non-Finance jobs that interest you and do not require a specific major, apply for them too. Unfortunately, going to law school after your Finance degree is not a good idea unless you get accepted into a Top 14 school and are willing to give up your life for three years to graduate among the top of your class in an extremely difficult/competitive school. It is harder to get started in a legal career than it is to get started in the now-decimated American information technology field.</p>
<p>Not all jobs in finance require you to sit in an office all day “crunching numbers”. Are you sure you weren’t applying for accounting positions? LOL. Finance is a fairly interactive field - you’re mostly working in teams, doing research on companies, valuating different assets, or even meeting with managers/clients. Rarely do you ever just sit in the office. I think you’re getting cold feet - which is understandable. </p>
<p>What you should understand, though, is that finance is a fairly versatile field. You’ll have a lot of options down the line. Law school, for example, ideally would accept a finance major. Even politics might be a good path. But, as a junior, I’d strongly suggest you just stick it out and use it as a general background degree.</p>
<p>Finance is one of those majors that you’re not “stuck” with. If it were a medical degree, for example, your future prospects are pretty much set in stone. Finance allows for a little wiggle room - you could use it as a way to get your foot in door in many business related fields… like marketing, management, communications, economics, or even accounting.</p>
<p>Maybe you can apply for a master degree in China since you like Chinese. Or you keep on working, and do things you like at leisure. Anyway, finance is kind of fun! If you want to learn Chinese, you can connect me =D</p>
<p>You could get a bit of experience in finance and then end up as a writer in the finance area. Perhaps a copywriter for a mutual fund company, for example. Or a corporate writer for a financial company. There are a lot of ways to combine your financial knowledge and your writing skills.</p>
