How does your post-secondary education relate to a career in wealth management?

"I earned my master's degree in finance from ABC University. My degree exposed me to the financial world and specific topics such as bonds, econometrics, economics, corporate finance, governmental finance, individual investment, statistics, and portfolio management. I am grateful for my education and how well it has supported me in my career."

"I will never be finished with my education and learning. Although my degree is in business administration and not specifically finance, my school prepared me very well for a career in wealth management. I took courses in economics, finance, management, and marketing, all important facets of wealth management."

Goldman Sachs has several internship programs available to undergraduate or graduate students. They typically require a minimum of a bachelor's degree and, in the past, prioritized those possessing a degree in accounting, business, finance, or management. However, they've more recently expanded their focus to those with Humanities degrees, placing less value on the degree itself and more on intelligence, GPA, ability to think critically, problem solve, be resourceful, demonstrate leadership, etcetera. As they state on their blog, "We hire liberal arts majors as interns and full-time employees in every division. A lot of what liberal arts majors learn, writing skills, communication skills, project management, and research, is applicable across all of our divisions. We also believe someone's career path is determined by their interests."
