Graduated with First Class Honor
Friday, July 20, 2007
My teacher in high school often ask us to work hard in the college and get the first class honor. It was partly because she graduated with First Class Honor too, and she thinks that it is so important to get a First Class Honor. However, there are only a few students within a department who would graduate with First Class Honor, and perhaps the majority of them would actually graduate with Second Class Honor Upper Division. Being able to graduate with First Class Honor is a matter of luck. If the graduating students of that year are of very high standard, you have a less chance of getting a First Class Honor.
So except that the First Class Honor would cheer me up a little bit for a little while, what's the use of that? I speculate that there is nothing so good about getting a First Class Honor: I am still jobless. Of course, if I am going to do graduate studies, I will have a bigger chance to be financed with scholarship. But I have given up graduate studies now, and looking for Banking/Finance jobs. Given my Social Science Degree, what's the use of a First Class Honor in Social Science in finding a Banking/Finance job. Seems nothing.
My switch to Finance is a dramatic one, and also a difficult one. That is the reason for me to take the CFA, because I want to learn, and I want to prove to others that I know those things. CFA is really tough, but I believe in myself.
My goal is to get a equity analysis job in first-tier investment banks. I believe in myself: sooner or later, I will be able to get one.

Howdy,
I've read your blog and it really inspired me. You wrote meaningful topics and I'm sure many readers are enjoying reading and are interested with your blog.
By the way, have you heard about identity theft? It is one of the common problems of the society. I have a short content about identity theft and this is a good topic for your readers to be aware while surfing the world wide web. If it is okay, I would like to post a brief content about Identity fraud /theft into your blog, this content is just simple but has a great meaning for all of us.
I would be happy if you'll do. More power to your blog, and may it continue in getting popular.
Please response through my email address. Thank you very much.

Dear,
I want to make 1 guest post in your site, if you permit me. The post contains 350 words above and it is totally unique as it is written by my content writers.

It will be a difficult but rewarding change for you. Don't get discouraged. I am in college as a Finance major, but I began as a Film & Media Arts major. The transition has been challenging, but my unique film & media background gives me a different perspective on business than other job candidates. For example, not only can I do Finance, but I can write press releases, speak to reporters, and film commercials. Having a unique background can become a true asset for you. You can do it! Have faith and be confident! Good luck.
