First of all,thanks to Billy who wrote a very interesting opening speech for the club. Majority of the students in our college has a very funny viewpoint of the word "finance". This happens more obviously in those who take other courses. They think that only students who are pursuing a degree in finance can join our club. But don't they spend money everyday?
This is no longer a world with barter system. You have to pay 20cents even for a visit to the toilet. What will you do when you are in the urgent to settle your business? You can't simply settle it on the street,right? So if you still think finance is not vital,please think twice or thrice.
What made me choose to study finance? Well, girls should know we need to have more money than guys. We want to buy clothes and shoes and that is not all yet. When we look at the mirror, we will start wondering, "Isn't it perfect if I have something to put on my neck? And I regret of not buying the belt." Besides that, we also need to spend money on our monthly friend. There are so many things that we need, and there are so few allowances from our parents. Besides stuff on personal appearance, we want to update ourselves with the latest digital gadgets too, such as
handphone, camera, ipod and so on. What? You say we can work? We sure can, but it'll burden ourselves in our studies. So, once again, money is a crucial thing for everyone.
Apart from the above, the other reason I chose finance is because I can get a job easier. Every field needs to manage their money and cope with the risks of losing money, either it is a small or big company. Look at people who produce pirated dvds, their act is undeniably wrongful. But why are they doing that? It is because they want to earn more money from less costly materials. They just need to download movies or series from the internet, then with a cheaper CD, they can sell it out more costly. They know that the society still needs them as they are saving money to purchase things they want too. Please take note, it is merely an example to show the significance of finance. I'm not encouraging anyone to participate in
this illegal job.
I guess this is all that I wanted to say. So, i hope that our club can be the information center of everyone, before reaching the dream of each of you.
