I'm a recent graduate of the University of Toronto, with an HBA in Philosophy and History. My whole life I was positive I wanted to go into law, hence my majors. My last year, doing prep for law school and talking with my parents friends (both lawyers so there was plenty of people to talk to) as well as my friends made me realize I didn't actually want to be a lawyer.
I've become interested in finance now, but I seem to be at a massive disadvantage due to my degree. I'm competing against people with relevant degrees who've done finance internships their entire post-secondary degree, who also prepared with strong extracurriculars compare to my... Not so strong extracurriculars.
I've talked to my registrar and returning to school is an option. I can't do a BA since I already received one, but I could return to get a BSc. Since economics is considered a part of the arts at U ofT, I'd have to do something like a Math major as my primary major in addition to an economics major to make my degree a BSc. I'm seriously debating doing this and looking for extracurriculars to do that can demonstrate leadership abilities in order to get a career.
What can I do? What should I do?
