Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
Had interest in the stock market, but loved sports and wanted to pursue that.
Decided I wanted to try and be a doctor, but still enjoyed finance, so did Finance & Pre-Med.
Took my first chemistry class and hated it, so switched to Finance and Sports Management.
Sports Management was not engaging enough, so stuck with Finance, but found a double major.
Decided to pick up Economics and loved it. It tied so well with Finance, and knew it was right.
Got a job in Finance out of school, and has been exactly what I wanted.
