What subjects did you take in school and how have these influenced your career path?
During my studies at University I focused on financial orientated courses such as:
Money & Banking,
International Finance,
Corporate Finance,
Accounting (financial and management)
International Accounting,
Business Statistics,
Spreadsheet Applications,
as well as Philosophy, Psychology, Ethics, Negotiations and Art.
From my current perspective, now I understand that taking additional humanistic courses allowed me to widen my horizons. After all, it's not all about finance!
