Like every other student when I was 15 years old, I had to make a career decision for myself. At that point of time, I chose to enter the field of Finance and make a mark for myself. It was quiet obvious that I would want to get into this field. My father like stock market business, I grew up observing the elders in my family discuss Debts, Equities, Premiums, Principal amounts, the turnover figures of the various clients and so on. These discussions ultimately led me to gain interest in the field of finance. I gradually came to appreciate the importance of finance in the modern world. I quickly wanted to grow up and join them however that never happened. I had to complete my Bachelors, intern under various reputed financial companies and work my hard way up to where I am now.

The practical experience during my job gave me a new confidence to go ahead and learn more, as I thoroughly enjoyed working for this industry.

    Being a freshman in High School, I did a lot of worrying about my future. I wondered what I could do that will make me happy, that I’d be good at, and that would make me financially stable. Back then, I had a very close minded view of the world. I didn’t see myself as being anything more than average. As I went through High School, my views totally changed, and I finally found my calling by the middle of my High School career. It was a pretty broad vision, but it was a start. My dream field of work, would be business.…

    Over the last year I have taken reasonable steps to determine how best to utilize my talents. Last summer I interned for a private investment firm, where I researched and ranked the top 529 plans available in America. I was also an Internship Sales Associate for Global Equity Finance in San Diego. I understand I have a talent in analyzing data and making research projects, as well as an interest in human interaction. However, the main motivator in my career planning is money. Whichever field seems profitable, and “doable”, I will reassess and mold my skill set to match its requirements. Realistically, the overall field of business I want to pursue is finance. I realize how broad of a statement that is, which is why I find myself in between steps two and three. I understand my talents and resources, however I am not yet sure which area of finance I want to pursue.…

    I was disoriented, with no clues of available careers for my future. I would like to think that several dynamics in my life were characterized by the socioeconomic status of my family of origin. We are the classic example of a middle-class family in northern Italy. Both my parents came from humble families of farmers that shaped their vision of life. In their expectations for my future, economic stability through a permanent job was at the top of their list. Thinking about high levels of education was not even an option in my house; my parents never encouraged me to go to college or to find my vocation. On the contrary, I grow up with the perpetual teaching of being happy with what I had and not being envious of other families’ wealth. By thinking to have limited options, dreams, and ambitions, I ended up choosing a technical institute to become an electrician like my father. The consequences of that choice impact all my 5 years of high school. Lack of motivation and a deeper dissatisfaction stopped me in pursuing high grades and, consequently, considering university. At that time, I really thought I was a bad student. I remember a sense of intellectual inferiority towards other classmates. Unfortunately, I was not aware of my full potential and abilities in other disciplines, like…
