>> I'm a proud graduate of Yukon.
I went here all four years and I was a
finance major with a psychology minor.
Coming into the business school it had a very
good reputation and I can't speak highly enough
about the teachers that are there and
they're only increasing in caliber.
They teach you real world applications
and as much as the teachers were saying,
learn how to deal with people on one on one
interface, and learn how to talk to your bosses,
and just be a good communicator,
you can't stress that enough.
I didn't realize how much of my job
was actually just communication.
And if I can't understand what you're asking
of me, how am I supposed to do this task
and then it reflects badly on the entire team.
So it's a lot about communication.
I believe that in the fortunately in the
situation that our economy is in right now,
people have to be a little bit more strategic
in choosing their major so I went with finance
because I know money will always be around.
Money and management of people's
funds will always be necessary
and finance was a bankable career.
It's something that it's a wide variety and
most people wouldn't be able to define finance
for you, especially someone not in the field.
But going into finance I found that
I was inspired to research markets,
and find out about areas that I didn't even care
about years before but my teachers pushed me
to excel in that area and they wanted
me to say where's your passion?
So finance led me to find a psychology
minor and the psychology professor said,
don't look at the markets
as a market and an object,
look at it as a function of people's decisions.
The psychology helped me understand people's
mind sets and the choices that they would make
in combination with the finance of seeing
how the markets would fluctuate based
on their decisions.
