MDwannabe asked:


I am in a difficult spot of not being able to get into chemistry for premed right now. Will classes like finance, geography, intro to sociology, spanish, and interpersonal communication be good courses to take or would it be better to just take 2-3 science courses and wait to do the chemistry in the summer? or should I be taking these “electives” before I get into natural sciences? I already have a whole semester of electives and no premed requirements are fulfllled.(freshman yr.) I plan on english and human biology with lab. I will have a full summer in academics for sure. What do you think of this all?

I am 24 and have absolutely no experiences with investing.
After payaing off student loan and cost of living/expenses, I will have about 50K saving by Dec 2009.

I plan to do the following investment/finance based on the 50K:

401K –> 16.5K (I contribute the max allowed)

CDK –> 20K (I will use this for future house buying)

Roth IRA –> 5K (Will open with Vanguard or Fidelity, likely to do with Vanguard Retirement 2050 Fund)

Scottrade –> 7K (I buy stocks from about 10 companies I like or know GE, Boeing, BOA, Citigroup, Macys, etc)

Savings –> 2 K for emergency/extra spending

Short term goal (marry and buy a house around 28-30)
Medium term goal (have enough for kids college)
Long term goal (safe retirement if possible)

My income now is 58K, but it will raise to 65 next year, and will be between 70-90 avg in the future….(mechanical engineering)

Please help me and give me suggestions. I am not sure if I am making the right choices or not
Thank you.

The Cincinnati Kid asked:


I want a career working with the stock market and personal finances. Moving to Wall Street is not an option, I live in Michigan. Where can I find programs that will give me the qualifications needed to get a stock market/finance career. Most colleges offer accounting degrees but I am having a hard time finding personal finance/stock market degrees.

Kay asked:


I’m 19 and just went to high school. I live in a small town. They have a college here. I’m not sure which course I should take. I’m interested in personal finance.

Is this course very difficult?

How much money do you spend for this course?

How much time do you spend to learn?
