Finance is a pretty broad field of study - ranging from financial accounting and reporting to the study of various financial markets, stock markets, valuations, trading etc. And so is Economics - with the 2 major sub-topics being Macro- and Micro-Economics. But both of them are essential for anyone serious about pursuing a career in the lucrative Investment Banking industry. In order to get started, I would suggest: A. Books B. Blogs C. Courses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQui_3Hpmmc&index=1&list=PL8FB14A2200B87185 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTs2IQ8OefQ&list=PLEDC55106E0BA18FC&index=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdHlfiOAJyE&list=PL8Ff5WbKYYzLGopBzOEMrAX8RH5_yVE4l D. Bonus - Personal Finance Personal finance is not usually taught as part of any curriculum. But this is something that will affect you the most and is one of the most vital life-skill one should have. From the wiki page,
Personal finance is the financial management which an individual or a family unit is required to do to obtain, budget, save, and spend monetary resources over time, taking into account various financial risks and future life events.
