honestly id suggest getting a second degree because finance only sustains you to a certain point (especially w the rise of AI). Also if anything id suggest you put ur finance skills into use like NOW, and not later! You should consider your own business or applying to business owners financial assistance to save up money
finance is not in danger yet at this point, it still requires human judgment to make risk analysis and decision. you can look into CFA and see if your government funds you to take the exams. it's definitely more challenging for fresh graduates right now compared to before. finance can go lots of ways, but you can study power bi and sql to get ahead of others. it's a nice skill to have

yeah haha but unfortunately it has already started in finance. the most impacted jobs right now are entry level jobs. it is much harder to get now compared to before. you still have to compete with other graduates who already upskill themselves online, and now you're starting to compete with AI too. I've seen the big4 accounting firms have reduced entry level workforce up to 30%, Microsoft also laid off like 20% i think (cmiiw)
but if we're talking about financial transaction, quant, risk analysis, it still requires human judgements to decide which option is better for the company. op can dive straight into banking though, it has better chance to survive against AI. specialize in investment portfolio or trading or something. but, as we all know, if you work in banking you're gonna be a slave to your work. no work life balance
exactly, theres literally no future with financing
no? the most AI could do is administrative work
Currently yes, in the future? hood luck
All this AI talk is making me nervous cuz im currently studying a degree related to finance , thankfully AI still struggles a bit at the most basic bookkeeping, but who knows how long till it advances more ....
