The path to wealth but I am a little confused?
I'm a first year film student, in my early 20s. This is the first degree I am studying formally. I'm passionately in love with the beauty of cinema. I want to make films and that's there and that too professionally for life, not occasionally. I also enjoy the world of finance. And lately I feel I should do something in the finance industry. I never wanted to study film formally, I just feel it's a waste of time. The only benefits of it is you get to be around film students. I always wanted to study economics/english literature. I am thinking of dropping out and choosing economics as my subject now. Already in my early 20s with no degree I know that but financial institutions mostly prefer degrees that too from target schools, especially Wall Street, NY. And I am not charming enough to convince them that I am capable of working and take me in over candidates with degrees from the target schools. I will release my films since school assignments/later on too for my film direction career but I would love to have quant knowledge which the degree will prove and I will have that advantage. I always believed that I will make good films but lately I am also gaining interest in finance since I always liked the subjects. What's the path now? I want to make films and do something too in the finance world. Part-time? And if I do get an economics degree, do I have to do masters in whatever just for the sake of attending the target school? I know the finance jobs demand hours and hours. I also have a deep interest in philosophy/metaphysics/quantum physics and I want to study philosophy too. I have so many interests, I don't know what all to do. Regardless, it's my deep request, any people who did film/finance together? I am not talking about just film producers. Anyone who was able to do two things at once? Any advice is welcomed. Did anyone, an investment banker, hedge fund manager, anyone who was able to open a film company successfully or similar to that? I just want to make money, grand, lots of it honestly, especially after starting to go to college 'late'.
You don't have to be a film major to make films anymore. With the internet (and the rise of YouTube & I guess Tik-Tok) you don't have to know someone or have an "in" to get into the film industry. You can create films right at home. Post them on YouTube. See if they take any traction or see whether you suck and should just do it as a hobby (non-financial gain). Check out FINAiUS on YouTube. He has put together some really great documentaries on Warren Buffett, Charlie Monger, Bill Ackman, and Carl Icahn.
You're correct about not needing to go to a film school. Absolutely. I'll watch the documentaries. Thankyou.
I relate. I want to make as much money as possible and become financially independent so I can make movies for a living. I want to make the greatest movies of all time.
Can really relate to your words. Are you an investment banker now or want to become one?
