Its all about your GPA!

I made a post previously saying math courses might be useful if you're a lib arts major in Canada (thats what some people related to industry and advisers told me). However, I have actually ended up contacting a whole BUNCH more of people in the industry since then (family friends started replying to emails, my finance profs referred me to other ppl, etc), and they did indeed say that the only advantage would be taking extra finance courses. Otherwise, I was told to take courses where I can get THE BEST GRADES POSSIBLE. Sorry for previous misinformation

WTF are you doing making posts like this when there are already plenty of people who ARE IN the industry posting on this very messageboard?
