If finance is your dream domain, and you see yourself as a future consultant, banker or investor, you need to first start small. You need to keep in mind world economy, politics, popular trade trends, et al. in order to successfully build a career in the world of finance. Take the Coronavirus for example. It has dealt a blow to international trade as well global companies operating out of China. International trends have a pesky way of affecting the smallest individual.
