So after 3 years of listening to people I know and not thinking much of finance, I finally decided to do some finance subjects and see what all the hype is about. My degree was a com/ec and and I had essentially finished my accounting and economics majors already.
After 2 sessions and enough subjects to minor in finance (2 off the major) what conclusion have I come to. Honestly, I think the subjects for a minor are proabably needed, and probably an option in applied corporate finance. But after that I look at all the options and they really seem like a waste of time to me. I'd much rather pick up some game theory or policy analysis in economics, or even some management accounting or financial statement analysis in accounting.
What does everyone really think of their finance major? It really seems to me like all the finance wiz kids learnt what they did outside of the subject. Even a proper masters in Finance looks more valuable than an undergraduate major in it.
