Did you find your Finance college/university classes boring?
Hi WSO
Like many of you I find finance/business extremely interesting. It's my passion and I could talk about it days on end. I do my research and have read your typical finance and investing books. I'll listen to finance podcasts as well. Point is I actually enjoy finance in the real world.
Now my question is did you find your Finance college/university classes boring?
I can't help but think my finance degree is mostly just plugging numbers into a formula and changing them around occasionally. It takes hard work to be able to succeed in doing this and to get good results. But I can't help but think it doesn't actually just teach you and underlying understanding? More a maths degree (which isnt even hard) than finance.
Let me know what you think
Hated Econ in school because it felt so abstract; ended up switching to an "easy" major halfway through school that still had great exit opps for job opportunities. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't have taken a single Econ course and would've just taken the easiest classes available while teaching myself more about my chosen field. For certain fields, college is very important, but in finance/RE college just feels like a means to an end. Most of the things I learned in college were life lessons/social stuff that I got from going out/having a good time. Main thing that matters is getting good internships and landing a good job out of school.
I think I have not boring during my university classes in light of the fact that their educator expert and friendly with students. Be that as it may, Sometimes it is boring, here and there not. It relies upon what drives you bored... could be the teacher or the strategy for teaching, you might perhaps have a fair paced segment for moderate student colleagues, or you just got bored on the grounds that you remained late the earlier night.
I am still in undergraduate and I can honestly say i love my Finance classes. In hs I always thought I would be an engineer because i was good at math, but I began to realize that higher math classes were too proof based for my liking. Finance classes though I find to be the perfect mix between qualitative and quantitative problem solving.
The Finance classes at my school are also extremely difficult. I do not think I would enjoy the class nearly as much if you could solve problems by just plugging numbers into equations.
In my personal opinion. College classes are too structured and focused on the grades rather than info. Having a finance internship during school will give you more knowledge than just a generic finance class. But it all depends on professor too.
I find all of my finance classes to be difficult, extremely interesting, but also dry. The material itself isn't necessarily boring, but practicing equations for an hour and a half isn't thrilling either.
I thought all of the classes were interesting. I didn't sign up for anything I didn't find interesting.
