Washington University, Olin Business School

Age: 21

Major: Finance & Accounting; Psychology minor

On The Economy: While the near-term performance of the economy is unknown, I strongly believe that the economy will right itself eventually. Aside from the difficult job market, it is a good time to be a college student.

On Future Plans: I have a job at a boutique investment bank in New York City. I look forward to gaining the skills and experience that come with being an analyst. After working for two or three years, I will decide whether to attend business school, work in another area of finance, or work in a completely different field.

On Majoring in Business: I have no regrets whatsoever for majoring in business. I feel that I have gained an extremely useful education that is valuable both in times of economic promise and distress.
