So... what do I do? #Spring25

I am attending a fairly prestigious university this fall and I have confidence it will help me succeed. However, the financial aid I received is not as helpful as I had hoped. Not to toot my own horn, but I've always been a smart kid and it feels much more fitting to me to take on this...

For someone pursuing a career in finance, what are the biggest lessons you’ve learned about yourself and the industry that helped you decide which sector to work in—especially when factoring in personal work ethic, natural strengths, and the realities of being a Black man in corporate America? As well as how do you see the sustainability of finance careers evolving with the rise of AI?

I am currently committed to attend Middlebury College in Vermont, and am looking to pursue a career in finance with a major of Economics.

Let's say a person has fallen behind in a few classes and tests are coming up/the due dates for assignments are drawing near, what would be the best way to go about the situation? It would not necessarily be an advanced learning and apprehension since it would be within a short amount of time but more so to the extent of passing and perhaps a little further if able. How might that person deal with catching up in an efficient way and what choices or alternatives should that person consider in order to reduce the possibility of the same occurrence happening again?

In a more simplistic statement, how does an individual deal with extensive procrastination?
