Yr 12 student here!!
Hi! I am full set on plan of doing bachelor of science in Monash (go8) and major in financial insurance maths. I am quite not interested in commerce but I am so interested in pursuing careers in finance. I know this may sound super dumb that i dont wanna do commerce but still interested in finance. Well it is what it is. I have been hearing that alot of finance also prefers STEM degrees and a really good grades in uni as well as internship. Can anyone provide an advice or anything on how to become an Investment banking or private equity. I am quite aware that it is super hard to break in and the cons of it. But i am dead ready to set my feet and reach to my objectives. If anyone could provide step by step on how to break into one of the careers or any advice that would be really appreciated! Please no mean comments, thank you :)

Degree subject doesn’t matter as much as people tend to think, what matters more is your university degree. Fyi I’d improve on your writing skills, no offence this post was painfully difficult to read and this will hold you back if you manage to break in.
