Why did you choose to attend Swiss Finance?

Above all else, my academic ambition has been to apply my knowledge of economics to the corporate world. Though it is always challenging to connect theory with real-life situations, I was intrigued by the challenge to try. Swiss Finance brought me so much closer to mastering this challenge. It takes a lot of courage to face a big change, like attending school in a foreign country, but the amount of knowledge you gain by going through it, pays off. This principle applies to the way in which I chose my economics major at Penn State, and my decision to attend the Swiss Finance program. My economics major has allowed me to structure my logical processes and critical thinking which are essential qualities in today’s business world. Attending Swiss Finance was again a big change, but the amount I learned was the best reward. Being associated with the Swiss Finance reputation is a good thing. It shows my commitment to being as educated as possible in the field of my interest. An additional motivation for me to attend is my future plans. In a few years I would like to have my own mutual fund, focused on trading primarily international securities. Because Swiss Finance has a very international outlook, it seemed like good preparation for my future.
Cheers,
Vicente
