I’m an Incoming freshman planning to major in either Econ/orfe. I’d like to ideally end up in PE. The school I’m attending has a rigorous course load for the two aforementioned majors and I want to know if it makes sense to allocate some of my time to involvement in clubs/orgs/funds. Does the potential experience and added resume value outweigh the time investment?
Thanks in advance for the input.

Experience in finance/investment clubs are very common in the first couple of years of college. Very useful to learn about the industry, network, get leadership experience, fill up your resume etc. I was pretty involved in finance clubs in my first few years in college but generally tapered out my upperclassmen years.
I would say join 1 or 2 and don’t overburden yourself. Better to contribute well to 1/2 clubs than to contribute poorly to 3/4 clubs.
Cheers
