Hey there!

I have to say, I really enjoy the community here. Anyways, I'm using WSO as a learning tool. I graduated with a BS in May 2013 with a degree that I have fully realized I never really wanted in the first place (environmental science...sigh) and am looking into going back to my alma mater for a couple years to attain a Finance degree. Mental stimulation is key for me and I think the finance industry will be great in helping me find a career that involves using my brain (finally), which is great beyond the fact that I'm genuinely interested in finance itself.

But anyways, just wanted to drop in and say hi! Also, has anyone been in a similar position (graduating with one degree, going back to get a business degree)? How'd it work out?

i didn't know the finance industry was really known for "mental stimulation" nevertheless, best of luck with your current endeavor
