My Major – Rebecca Magazinnik

In my second year of highschool is when I really found out what I want my career to be. I got an opportunity to be part of a work experience program in a big Financial Firm called Mitsubishi Securities! It was here where I first learned about the stock market, mutual funds and bunches of other terms relating to the finance field.

Later on in highschool I took economics where I learned about those terms in more detail. I began to understand how they came together and, for example, how interest rates affects the money supply or why high inflation as well as deflation can both be perceived as negative aspects in our communities. I found myself even more interested in understanding these concepts and I wanted to go to a good bussiness college.

In my senior year I decided on going to Baruch and majoring in Finance. I still didn’t decide on a minor, but I am thinking about maybe minoring in economics because I enjoyed the course so much. I am hoping for a 4.0 GPA in Baruch and I’m working hard to get it!

In the future I would like to intern in firms like JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs. When I was little I dreamed of having my own office in one of those companies overlooking the city, although I know now that practically impossible I still would, nevertheless, love to work in those companies.  Image result for goldman sachs logoImage result for jp morgan logo
