Nothing produces more satisfaction than solving a tough problem or giving advice and perspective into a topic. If you are naturally outgoing and inquisitive, or an innate problem-solver who loves to use your analytical skills, a career in finance could be a great fit for you.
Finance majors from PLNU are trained to embrace and apply their strength in logical reasoning to real-life situations and use discernment based on values and ethics to propose solutions.
