Honors Program Trouble
Hi everyone! At the college I will be attending, I was accepted into the Philosophy Honors Program. Meaning, instead of the normal "general education" curriculum, I would take honors classes in philosophy and literature. Is this worthwhile for a finance career, or does nobody care about these type of classes? Like, I could spin it as "analyzing and processing the works of contemporaty thinkers" but do hiring managers care? Or should I just take more finance/statistics/economics classes? Thanks everyone
Are you attending a prestigious/target university? If so, you could probably get away with the philosophy program as long as you supplement your coursework with some finance/quant electives and study technicals on your own. The target brand name proves you're smart, the philosophy focus proves you have a passion outside of finance. Both of those things are desirable. Just make sure you've got something else that demonstrates a serious interest in finance.
If you're at a semi- or non-target, you probably want to think twice here. At this level, students still need to separate themselves from their peers to prove they're smart enough, and I'm not sure even a 4.0 in philosophy gets this done. If there's no option for a finance double-major then I think you've got a massive (impossible?) uphill battle to break in with a philosophy degree.
