RATE MY MAJOR/MINOR FOR FINANCE
I graduate high school this year and I was thinking of pursuing an Economics major and a double minor in Psychology and Environmental Science/Agriculture in college.
The reasoning behind it is that both the minors are interesting to me (at least right now) and are relatively easy to complete. I understand that college is college and nothing is really easy but I feel that my double minor combo is like a hard minor.
Also, I think they are somewhat relevant to finance, since trading is a lot of psychology and I want to work in Agro PE/VC long-term.
I don't know though, what do you guys think as someone currently in the industry?
I am not in the industry, but rather incoming —Honestly if you find it interesting I would go for it, but don’t go in with the mindset that a psychology minor will teach you much you’ll be able to use on the job or even in finance classes. I think a lot of new college students (including myself) come in thinking that everything is somehow linked to psychology, but in practice you won’t make so many links since the methods/theory in finance/economics do not need psychology to exist.
The environmental study minor can help you tell a relevant story for getting into agro PE or ESG funds. Could make you stand out by having a good reason as to why this industry specifically.
+ you can bullshit something about ethics if you do a philosophy minor and something to do with environmental concerns for ESG investing
also i mentioned this in another common but philosophy and psychology is very similar
yeah thats true but the difference is psychology is the easiest minor and philosophy is the hardest minor, literally, a lot of rankings. their syllabus' though are shockingly similar.
Psychology is shit on because a lot of white girls do it, try something more STEM or quanty/less generic like chemistry, philosophy (psychology is applied philosophy anyhow) or statistics
okay big cock boy, noted.
Do yourself a favor and do computer science
