What are good gateway jobs/money making activities for a high schooler going into a degree for business if they wish to enter into the career of finance, accounting, or marketing (preference in finance).?

I'm a senior in high school who is unable to work anything other then remote due to family issues. I've been looking for jobs relating to what my career is for quite some time but I can't find anything worthwhile. I'm going to be basically by myself the moment I turn 18 and am in desperate need of assistance.

How do you fight the urge to "rest on your laurels" and instead consistently seek to make your company better?

I'm a senior at Georgia Southern University studying finance. I have considered pursuing a career in either financial analysis or financial planning, but I think I'm leaning more toward the analysis route.

what are some investment banking/finance-related opportunities?

I currently study finance at Taylor University, Malaysia. And am interested in investing, banking, finance, economics, and how money works. I was looking for opportunities to work in a related sector such as investment banking or banks in general. Still, I want to know which countries have such opportunities in the finance sector and have demand for it, which can provide a good experience and ability to grow. I know generally that the US is the best option but there is too much competition at the moment so Im searching for the less competitive markets for ex: Europe, Canada, or Arabic countries? Besides that, I wanted to know what courses or work experience I should take during my studies to improve my resume and make me highly qualified in this field.

How do we network to professionals or hiring managers?

I don't have Linkedin Premium so what I do is connect and send a personalized message. Is it rude if I do this formula: (salutation + small intro, where we met + directly question what I want to know from that professional)? OR do you prefer to (salutation + small intro, where we met + an open-ended question?)

I am about to graduate with a bachelor's degree in Science but I am looking to get a job in the finance industry. I am looking to bridge my knowledge gap by taking courses with verified certificates from top rated business schools such as Wharton from Coursera.org. Do employers take these verified certificates into account in their hiring decisions or am I better off doing another real bachelor's degree in finance? #financial-services #corporate-finance #commercial-banking #financial-markets

Economic History or Economics for Equity Research

I'm a high school student looking to apply to the University of Edinburgh and Oxford for a degree in either Economics and Management (Oxford)/Economics with Finance (Edinburgh) or Economics and History (Oxford) and Economics and Economic History(Edinburgh). I feel incredibly passionate about the way that economics and history intertwine, and how each has affected the other over time. So, I would probably have more success in articulating that passion in the university application process, which means I would probably have a higher chance of being accepted. However, the career I want is one in equity research, and I feel that I will have a harder time in terms of finding internships and jobs if I study economic history because economics/finance majors have a more practical background and more obvious connections to the world of banking. Is it possible to break into equity research with a degree in history and economics? Do I need the more practical background of finance? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. #finance #economics #investment-banking #corporate-finance #equity-research
