I go to a Target school but haven't learned shit about finance yet (junior)
I'm in the Kelley School at IU. One of the things they pride themselves on is waiting for your final 2-3 semesters of college to start major classes up until that point all business kids take the same pre req. I'm in my 2nd semester junior year and am knocking out gen eds so I have the entire finance degree my senior year. My only background so far is one financ crash course that business majors take.** How do I learn shit this summer so I'm ready to interview next Fall even though I have no class experience**. I have a finance internship this summer.
read the news and market updates to stay current; read wealth of nations and the intelligent investor to at least get you head in the game at a macro level. the internship and your last year will teach you the rest. college is for developing the soft skills and to give employers some level of comfort that you can function intellectually. Everything you need to do your job, besides critical thinking, get taught or re-taught at work anyway. In the meantime, enjoy college - you'll likely never have the same opportunity to balance work and pleasure again so might as well enjoy it while you can. good luck.
Sorry, maybe I missed something. I thought you said you were at a target school?
This lol. In what world is Kelley a target school.
Agree with Gekk above. Who cares? Work fucking sucks. When the time comes, you'll learn to put up. Just have fun in a safe and responsible way, because it's all down hill from graduation. JK, but there's seriously no need to worry about balancing your finance career until graduation.
