What do you like about finance?
What do you all like about working in finance? What inspires you to wake up every morning and start working? It has to be more than just ‘money’, otherwise that would be a bit depressing.
I like the ability to analyze financial statements to paint a clear picture of what is going on within a company and finding out the competitive advantage or passion in the company to find a path to increase profits and growth.
learning about how businesses work in various industries and markets

the biggest charity you can do with money is strengthen someone’s livelihood by investing in / supporting / partnering in their business. That is what finance aspires to do, it’s about helping other people who need the help as best as we can possibly help them.

Also the financial markets are avenues for growth for companies.
