What's a better course to study: Finance or Philosophy?
I know Finance probably provides better opportunities, but honestly, I think philosophy would help me in other areas, as opposed to just studying finance...

I mean job wise, most people would say finance. These are kinds of jobs you can do with a degree in finance http://myplan.com/majors/finance-general/related-careers-52.0801.html. If you're going to go to graduate school, then I would say philosophy. It's a good major for pre-professional programs. If you're just talking about which one would make you a more well-rounded person, then philosophy seems like the logical choice but I'm sure you could just make the most out of whatever major you choose. I say decide what you want out of college and your education and then choose your major. Do you want to come out of college as an accountant or someone who deals with money? Then finance is a good major. Do you want to develop better thinking skills and opinions? Or want a major for a pre-professional program you're following...then maybe philosophy is right.

I'd say finance as your primary major with philosophy as your secondary major.

major in finance minor in philosophy.

Depends which school you go to, but a class that covers any of these topics would be valuable. • International Financial Markets • Public Finance & Fiscal Policy • Money & Banking • Corporate Valuation • Industrial Accounting • Investment Science • Risk & Insurance • Corporate Finance If you have a year to work with, I would reccomend enrolling in the CFA Program.

Do you think high school should have a mandatory basic finance and investing course
Do you think high school should have a mandatory basic finance and investing course?
It seems that young people would be better off if they learned the importance of saving and investing for their future rather than rather than blowing all their money on the here and now. A child is very lucky if they have financial guidance from family, but this is most often not the case.

Ours has a mandatory basic finance and investing and training and guidance in selecting a career. One that you can prepare for in less than two years. They give extensive testing and counseling to see what career is best for you and you have the skills for. Then see that you get the training in that career. So you can get out of school and support yourself.

Yes, definitely. It's amazing how little education is given on something so important for life.
3
finance, yes, investing, no - since that is just a gamble any way.

No, I feel confident in saying that J. Paul Getty or, a more modern example, Bill Gates, didn't study finance or investment while in high school. Studying from books limits you to what is written in those books. Think of all the books on how to make a million are on the book stands whether it be in real estate, stocks & bonds or whatever. Now compare the number of people who bought and read those books with the number of people who actually became millionaires through reading them.

That is just one of the courses they should have. When I was in High School I took General Business. It was considered a course for non-college bound students, but it was an excellent course. I was the only college bound student in there. Another course that would be very beneficial would be Interpersonal Relations i e how to get along with people.
6
Short answer - yes. In truth, it really doesn't matter. Unless a family has SUCCESSFULLY taught a child how to manage money, the child will either fail financially or learn the hard way.
7
I don't know so much about mandatory but there should be a personal finance elective going back to Junior High, even before high school. What makes it so apparant of a need is seeing all of the questions here from teens wanting to know what kind of jobs they can get. Imagine if there were a class that could help these kids start to plan early for making money, saving money, spending money, etc? Such a class should teach students what its like to be an adult by making them "work" for a day and then go about running a household and understanding taxes, saving, negotiating pricing on items, buying a house, etc.... sorta like the game Monopoly, only more real. If a teacher only reaches one student out of 30 and that kid turns out to be a millionaire by 40, the class will be worthwhile.

Yes and relate the class to math. If you can add you can balance your monthly budget.....
