Finance and Banking is a stream that is really interesting and rewarding, but requires a lot of hard work and long hours. It's really important to do research and be sure it's the right field for you. I chose to study Finance and Banking, because I had an interest in the inner workings of financial markets that influence our day-to-day lives
