Finance 3313
Chapter one covers a wide variety of new material for students who are primarily first year students. I
am currently majoring/ intend to major in both Accounting and Finance and thus most of the materials
learn here will be applied to my future job especially since I do see myself going the finance route in
comparison to taking a CPA exam at the end. Thus, I will be managing money for some prospective
employer and may have to work with financial managers such as CFOs, vice president of finance,
comptroller, treasurer and may even fill one or more of these portfolios. It is interesting to learn about
how diverse the world of finance is and while I don’t work in the traditional 9-5 job it still has application
in what I do. In my future job and even now in the military you must have ownership and control which
leads to accountability. I will have many different types of agency problems in the future along with cost,
capital budgeting and all else that a financial worker will need to contend with and solve. After obtaining
my degree in finance, however, I would like to try and entrepreneurial route first so I can have people
working for me instead of me working for them. However, if the entrepreneurial route doesn’t work then
I will use my degree to work in financial management or work for a broker etc.
