I am double majoring in Investment Management and Business Administration/Management. As far as maximizing my appeal to potential employers after college, would an economics minor or participation in the Honors College be most appealing to employers?
Honors College or Economics Minor best for resume, job opportunities, and salary after college?

My choices are: The Catholic University of America, Temple University, St. Joseph’s University (PA), Duquesne University and Seton Hall University
I think i’m going to major in econ, and I want to work at an investment firm when I grow up. I know that getting a job in that field is competitive and going to a good college would help my chances…
Thanks!!

Should I buy my own condo or an investment property?
23
Jan
I’m just out of college and in the finance world. I know about the obvious reasons for building your own equity, but I’m having a hard time deciding whether I should buy my own 1BR condo in Chicago, or to purchase an investment property to rent out. Either way, I will be building equity, and obviously both would be the way to go, but I don’t have enough for both down payments yet.
What is required for a career as financial analyst in investment banking community for lateral entry?
21
Jan
I’m currently a teacher. I’m looking to go lateral entry into the financial services field. I’m absolutely passionate about financial systems, markets, securities, banking, investments etc. and am willing to commit my life to this profession.
There are very few entry level positions available for people like me however. Even though I know have a better work ethic, more ability, and passion for this field….I’m worried that companies will be looking for the typical college graduate.
I did find an entry level financial analyst position available near me. It indicated that they are hiring financial anlaysts in the product control function of their investment banking division.
Do you have any recommendations about pursuing this type of job?
Also, any advice on acquiring a job in equity or securities research? I’m looking for a step in the door….I can do the rest when I get in. Thanks in advance!
