<p>If I want to go into Corporate Finance what do u suggest?</p>
<p>What about Investment Banking?</p>
<p>And what about Consulting?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Corporate Finance = Finance or Computational Finance
IBanking = Finance, Computational Finance, Accounting, or Entrepreneurship
Consulting = Strategic Management, Planning and Control, or Marketing.</p>
<p>oh thanks so much dude… i can pic two concentrtions towards my bachelors of science in BA so this helps</p>
<p>bumppppppppppppppppppp</p>
<p>Computational finance and quantitative analysis.</p>
<p>Inmotion 12… computational finance and quantitative analysis for what?</p>
<p>I think that’s the best foundation for all three of the career paths you listed. Don’t expect that path to be easy by any means, in fact it is probably the most difficult you could choose, besides throwing some applied statistics in there, but it will give you an advantage over the “strategic management” or the “global and regional studies” majors.</p>
<p>ohh ok… so if given the coice between regular finance or computational finance u suggest computational rite? and does accounting fit for any of these?</p>
<p>Fully agree with Inmotion… Like for consulting, a strategic managment concentration won’t due ****. Wanna succed? Trial and error my friend and then take that into consulting.</p>
<p>Computational finance is a course of study geared towards traders. No M&A banker needs to know the math behind pricing options. I’ve always thought that quantitative analysis is nearly the same thing; if someone would like to elaborate on the difference between comp. finance and quant analysis I invite them to explain.</p>
<p>Taking the path could prove you have the hard skills and brain to apply them even if you aren’t looking at trading anyway. If you don’t like math, you’ll hate it though.</p>
<p>That’s exactly the point. There’s a strong positive correlation between math skills and income. Obviously, if you can’t handle the more difficult, math intensive majors then don’t do them, but your wallet will reflect that choice.</p>
<p>Think about it this way, does a physicist or engineer that ends up in ibanking really need to know the principles of physics or some engineering discipline? Of course not, but ibanks like them because they know that math people can think and solve problems in ways that non-math people can’t.</p>
<p>"Math skills add up to higher earnings</p>
<p>Emphasize numbers in your course curriculum, and you can expect to see higher numbers in your bank account. That’s the consensus of several studies, including surveys by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) and PayScale.com. “Math is at the crux of who gets paid,” states Ed Koc, director of research at NACE. “If you have those skills, you are an extremely valuable asset.” According to NACE, all 15 college majors with the highest earnings potential rely on math skills.</p>
<p>For best results, head for a college major that combines mathematics problem sets with hands-on career training. Applied math wins on the job market, explains PayScale’s director of quantitative analysis Al Lee: “The kinds of majors where you learn to integrate mathematics and science with the everyday world have a tremendous benefit in terms of earnings potential.” High tech isn’t the only road to riches – you can find applied math careers in business, finance, design and other industries."</p>
