What can one do with a degree in finance?
I am currently a freshman at Ball State University; my major is currently listed as undecided. All throughout high school, I was enrolled in business classes with slight interests in finance. I had a few questions to ensure myself this is something I may want to do... What can I do with a finance degree? What minors go well with a finance degree? Is it a smart choice? Etc.
