On 11/14/2017 I visited Starr Career Development Center located in the Newman Vertical Campus. At there I met with an academic advisor to seek recommendations about my career path and goals and how to get there. As a student pursuing a career in finance I was advised on a few things I should accomplish before I leave college to as to increase my possibilities of having a successful career in finance. He advised e that I should focus on passing my classes during my first year at Baruch and to develop a habit of reading especially finance books and the Wall Street journal. he then recommended that I should take up internship opportunities during the summer at financial firms preferably small firms so as to gain insight into the work experience relating to financial sector of the economy. He warned that pursuing a career in finance isn’t easy and that it is highly competitive, so in order to to be successful I should really put a lot of effort into the stuff I do relating to my career path and that its ok to make mistakes. However, I should be disciplined enough to learn from my mistakes and develop of habit of wanting to gain knowledge. His final advice was that to ensure that you follow a career path that you are truly passionate about and just don’t do it for the money or any other reason.
