Concentration schmocentration …..

Deciding on whether or not to do a concentration is tough decision, does it make you more attractive or less attractive to potential employers? What if you can’t find a job in the field you picked? What if you aren’t good enough in the field you picked? Is a concentration really worth the extra effort? The answer to these questions are probably as varied as the number of people that attempt to answer them.

Personally, I decided to go with a concentration in Finance, I wanted to stay close to decision modeling & statistics since I enjoyed those classes the most and actually liked the concepts presented in finance despite it’s obvious presentation issues. My choice of electives reflects my obvious quantitative fixation. I picked corporate finance, financial statement analysis, investments and strategy implementation. I don’t think I will do well all of these classes but like Sarah Johnston said, I would rather do something I enjoy than be good at something I don’t.
