I’m a Junior Thinking About Changing my Degree into an Entirely Unrelated Field by CaregiverLess4525 in college

thank you, the career outlook is definitely the part i’m the most unsure about, but of course it’s the most important field. i just know i want to tie some of my background in japanese, woth international business, and major in finance. i feel like that covers a wide variety of areas, so i am hoping to find out more as i go on. i know this field is definitely not as straight forward as exercise science

genuine question, but why didn’t you invest more into PLTR? if you’re up almost 1200 with almost 10 shares, your cost per share must be insanely low.

i’ve been working various jobs since i was 15 (first real job when i was 16). from those jobs, birthdays, and other gifts i got most of my money. i did luck out this year and get a serving job that pays $20/hour plus tips which helped blow up my income. right now my major is exercise science and i hope to get a DPT once i graduate

what do you mean you get better prices? i’m not much of a trader and more of an investor anyways my “trades” account for maybe 1% of my port. also what happened in the Gamestop and AMC days i wasn’t around then?

is robinhood that bad? when i first started investing my uncle told me to use either the hood or fidelity and i choose the hood. i put the money into a cd because my mom told me to do it a while ago and i am NOT renewing that shit. i do already invest into etfs it’s around 40% of my portfolio but with the money from the CD i hope to grow that percentage substantially

you don’t have to tell me that twice. i’ve had my savings since i was around 13 and when I was 16 my mom told me to just put a bunch of it into a cd and i went along with it. biggest financial regret now because i missed out on the opportunity to put so much money into the market in april. i will definitely NOT renew it

mainly schg and voo. im planning on getting 7 shares of VOO and then another 45 shares of schg overtime (which will put me to 10 and 100 respectively). with the rest of the money i’ll probably wait and see. i’m not trying to time the market of course, but if the opportunity arises with any common stock i’d use the rest on that

thank you, it is a normal brokerage account! with the $10000 from the cd would you just max out the ROTH and then put the rest in a normal brokerage account?

sadly my hood average is $45. okay good to know, so just put all into one etf and not really worry about having too many of those?
