<p>I am currently having trouble figuring out my possibilities for the future, given my current status.</p>
<p>I am right now a Sophomore at Ohio State University, majoring in Economics and minoring in Math. I am uncertain as to exactly what I should do once I graduate, and I have contemplated several options. If you have any insight into what they entail and what opportunities I could have with each, it would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Also, if it means anything, I am an honors student, and my current GPA is a 3.6 </p>
<p>As far as I can tell my options in furthering my education are as follows (this list is already a bit narrowed by my own preferences)</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Attain a Masters of Finance (Likely from the Fisher college of business)</p></li>
<li><p>Go to Law School as use that to parlay into a business field.</p></li>
<li><p>Take the actuarial exams</p></li>
</ol>
<p>After this, I would like to move into a finance related, or consulting field. I also have an interest in Actuarial Sciences, although I am not certain if I am well versed in math enough for it. When I graduate I will have taken Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Mulitvariable Calcculus, and Advanced Probability and Analysis.</p>
<p>What can you tell me about these options and the kind of opportunities that come with them?</p>
<p>Forget a masters in finance. Forget law school too. Both are expensive and not worth it. Cash in what your are going for right now.</p>
<p>I would start by looking for internships in what you are interested in. You said finance so I would start there. Land a couple of internships your sophomore and junior year. Make sure you start looking now, especially for this summer. I would start using the resources at your schools career center ASAP.</p>
<p>By the end of the senior year, I would try to secure a full time position before your graduate.</p>
<p>Actuary is also a good path too. I would also consider that over going to grad school or law school.</p>
<p>I am against spending more money for something you don’t need. Unless your school’s networking sucked the first time than I wouldn’t recommend a masters program. If you do decide to do a masters, then choose a prestigious one where the school has good networking so you have the ability land a nice job after graduation.</p>
<p>I would just try to land a good gig now while you are in undergrad. Hopefully in the future, your employer will fund your education to get an MBA.</p>
<p>I’m majoring in Business, but I want to go into the Studio/Music Industry. Entertainment Marketing persa.
To me Finance is so borring…but if you love it, great!</p>
