ucla's business economics and financial planning

College Majors Business Major

<p>I basically have couple questions regarding UCLA's business economics program and the financial planning/advising career. For any UCLA business economics students....how hard is this major compared to other majors at LA and what do you learn in a "typical" day? </p>

<p>As for any financial planners or advisors out there, what is the difference between the two careers and what do you basically do in a typical day as well? Are your work hours flexible and what do you actually do for a client?</p>

<p>*random: does macroeconomics help understand the stock market?</p>

<p>hours are VERY flexible, otherwise i will say more later when i am not so tired</p>

<p>macroeconomics, at least theoretically will help you understand the stock market. for example if the government ups the interest rates considerably, the stock market is likely to respond bearish-ly. </p>

<p>however, the stock market is irrational and can't be mastered through textbook learning alone</p>
