Advice: "Finance will provide you with a solid foundation of analytical skills and critical thinking processes that you can carry with you and leverage in so many areas of your life. Plus, it is not as complicated or difficult as it may seem (a worry I hear from many who are considering a Finance major). Also, find mentors in your area of interest (e.g. investing, corporate finance, etc.). They will help provide guidance and invaluable advice for your chosen path."
