[quote=Anonymous]DS interviewed for a number of finance positions this year at college and the one that hired him was interested in his community service work over many years. Academically, DS also took the hardest math classes including four semesters of college calculus and statistics in addition to the classes required by the business school. While I don't know if he will ever use the calculus at work, the advanced math serves as a signaling device for finance. DH also worked in finance at a managing director level and looked for the math when hiring. There is also the sales side of finance both for institutions and individuals. My mom was a very successful broker and she was a cheerleader in college. The sales types jobs are often filled by former athletes and very socially adept people, who are also smart. I wouldn't discount athletics as an extracurricular that is helpful for getting into finance, especially if your kid likes it.[/quote]
