- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- Should you get a regular finance degree or should you pursue one of the more recent fintech degrees? Thats a question a lot of students and professionals looking to advance their careers are continuously beginning to ask. The finance landscape has changed so much and continues to evolve as technology becomes more and more immersed in the space. Fintech is beginning to increasingly dominate the finance landscape as we transition into a more digital first world. In this video, I speak about the differences between the two educational options, the considerations to make in deciding which is best for your career goals.

This was very informative. Currently studying financial technology in Covenant University, Nigeria.
Glad you found it useful. All the best in your course
Me to but is study in Qatar I am so worried about it subject is it difficult
Thank you for the helpful comparison
Glad you found value in it
Fintech is indeed the future of finance and I wanted to do it but it's not in any university in South Sudan as a course currently am studying economics degree.
Firstly thank you for making this video.
Got cleared many of my queries😀
Glad you found it useful
I am pleasantly surprised that this is even a thing and other people have considered this. I was sitting here trying to research this for the past 3 hours.
It definitely is a dilemma for a lot of people in recent times
Ma mehn! Always good to see you do what you do best. Drafted a five year self development plan, its fintech all the way mehn. Right behind you. I trust you are holding up just fine?
Hey bro, its been a while. Glad to see you back online. The 5 year plan sounds awesome, we should all follow your lead with that. Doing good on my side as well🙏
@@JeremyQuainoo Always been here. Wait till you hear/read my confession, in fact if you lose any of your videos, contact me for them. I have currently numbered 47 plus lol. chale I got trapped in thoughts. Wondering what next and all. So I called it the phase where I explore my state of confusion. To start, I decided on a five year development plan. It is coming together quite wonderfully. Your channels have been of enormous help I must confess. Did you ever get to that impasse in your career build up?
Brief yet educative. Fintech I will choose. Thank you Jeremy.
Awesome choice Jemima😊 that would my preference was well
You helped me decide to BBA Business Analytics minor in finance
Love to hear it Wyndom. Glad you found some value in the content and all the best in your BBA journey
Good stuff👌
Much obliged Kk😊
Hi.
Thanks for sharing this.
Please I need your opinion on this
I studied accounting and 5 years experience as an accountant..
I'm considering doing my master program abroad.
As an accountant/finances person should I study MBA global or MBA fintech.?
Which of the two will be favorable to my career in the future.
Thank you
Hi Ismail, thanks for watching. I believe your decision between MBA Global or Fintech depends on what direction you want to take your career. Accounting is an age old practice with set traditional rules to guide. However, accountants are still required in the fintech industry and that broad knowledge makes you less one dimensional. So again it depends on the direction you want to go with your career and the industries you're aiming for. Hope that helps
I am currently about to enter college in 1-7 months for my bachelor degrees, and I am seriously contemplating exploring and working in fintech after my degrees. I am looking to study economics offline and computer science online. The computer science part of it has worked out quite well and I've gotten admitted into a good university for the same. Do you think an economics + computer science or economics & finance + computer science combination is optimal to get into fintech in the future as I am fairly sure there isn't a single good degree in fintech in the country, at least not at the bachelors level.
Yes you're right, there isn't a single degree that is the ideal for fintech. Most often a good blend of education and exposure is required. Economics+Computer Science and Finance+Computer Science are both great combinations because they're similar. I would through in a few digital transformation courses alongside if you can manage that. Cheers and all the best
@@JeremyQuainoo Glad to hear you confirm what I hoped for. Definitely taking on courses outside of college, which is fortunately a lot easier thanks to my university providing premium access to Coursera which has a lot of good ones. Thank you for the reply and the wonderful content!
Greetings from India, I'm 18 and stuck in a weird situation where I must pursue ACCA (accounting/finance) due to a poor decision in school but my true interest lies in computer science and due to my decision I'm not eligible in most colleges for anything STEM related but somehow I've found a distance program for Bachelor in computer applications....
Everyone has told me this is useless as BCA and ACCA are completely unrelated and I should drop one thing but I just can't due to many reasons, plus I feel there may be potential for my career decision in like Fintech or maybe my knowledge of numbers may come in handy if I reach higher levels in the company.
I don't mind ACCA and like some of the subject matter however I don't want to be an accountant. Is there any potential for this combo? What job roles could I get? Could I climb the corporate ladder?
Hello Rajesh, I appreciate the difficulty of your situation. I believe this is decision you have to make for yourself because I'm sure there are some peculiar details involved. However, I will say that having a combination of accounting and technical skills gives you an upper hand and makes you multi-dimensional. There is definitely a place in fintech for experts with dual skillsets. So you really have to just find the right fintech that will match your skills. Hope that helps.
Hello Mr Jeremy
Would like to ask, What would be your Advise for someone who studied Electrical/Electronics Engineering that is Looking to Pivot into FinTech for Msc.
I would say have a good reason why you want to pivot and don't fall victim to the fear of missing out since fintech sounds like the hot new thing. Even within fintech there are specific domains so be clear about which specific domain you would like to explore. Also scout around for the types of fintech roles advertised and identify the requirements that are presented and see if the fintech msc would provide those skills or that education. Hope that helps.
Hey jeremy.
I’ll be pursing my bachelors in canada. I was skeptical regarding the degree ie. Bsc Financial science degree or bba in finance. Could you please help me out :). Also do lemme know which programme languages i can work on for fintech. Love from india♥️
Glad you enjoy the channel Sneha. It will be tough to advise which degree to pursue because both are adequate for a path to fintech if thats your goal. So I suggest you decide based on your areas of interest because its much easier to do well when you actually enjoy the topics under the course. Regarding the languages there are just too many to recommend, currently python is one language that I was to learn myself as I see it being used the most in my field. Hope that helps.
What is your opinion in reference to the person who has a finance bachelors degree, and thinking about changing career and want to join US corporate \organization? Would you think that I would be able to get a job at the age of 47 with experience in retail industry as a self employed for more than two decades with a finance degree? Thanks in advance.
Thats a tough question. I believe its possible, however you will most likely face competition so you'll need to set yourself apart in some way. Your experience running your own business can be leveraged but you also need to display knowledge/expertise in whichever field you intend to transition into. Hope that helps.
@@JeremyQuainoo Yes. Thank you.
If comparing between computer science and financial technology,which one you think will be much better, in terms of continuing with bachelor of degree
It depends on what the end goal is, both can land you a role in the tech or fintech space but it depends on what you're seeking
Thanks for the videos so far, please how do you source your video materials???🙏🙏
Glad you like the videos. Not sure what you mean by source?
@@JeremyQuainoo I mean the resources you add in your video edit, like the short effects.....yes I have watched all your video, I'm a software engineer working to be in fintech world soon,so I have practically learnt a lot since I met your channel.
@@kewaco. sure I get the short clips from storyblocks.com
@@JeremyQuainoo God bless you 💗
can u make a video for tintech bootcamps tnxs bro u are top content creator
I'll do my best
My college doesnt have fintech.Only banking and finance so do i take it and learn tech on the side?
My college didn't have fintech either. I did a banking and finance degree and took additional courses. Thats what worked for me.
So is it worth it doing BS Fintech overall?And can we persue Master's in any CS program after doing bs fintech or not?
Pros:
Specialized knowledge in a growing field.
Diverse career opportunities.
Involvement in financial technology innovation.
Suitable for entrepreneurship.
Networking opportunities.
Cons:
Narrow focus compared to more general degrees.
The fintech industry evolves rapidly, requiring continuous learning.
Can you pursue a Master's in Computer Science after a BS in Fintech?
Yes, it's possible. You may need to meet prerequisites, demonstrate academic excellence, and align your fintech skills with your desired CS specialization. Consider your long-term career goals and how each educational path supports them.
Do I need to learn programming code? for my accounting and fiance fintech degree?
no you don't
Thank you for getting back to me
Hi i have question i have my bachelor degree in Accounting and taxation.. So i would to purse my master now i have 2 options
1) master in finance
2) master in science fintech
So which to choose in this.. I already got offer at fintech.. Is better for career opportunities to do fintech in Ireland reply please?
I think with either choice you're good, however a bird in hand is always better than two in the bush so I'd say unless you're sure you'll get the other, good to pursue what you have readily available.
I have the option to go either FinTech or Network/Security concentration for my IT degree. Does fintech consist of a lot of coding, because I do not care for programming?
The link for the outfit is not working btw.
Fintech doesn't have a lot of coding, I work in Fintech and don't know how to write a line of code
Hello, I'm currently contemplating on either to take Accounting/Finance because most of the responses i get from my research is that
1. Finance deals mainly with you interacting with people outside which am not really good at.
2. Finance is difficult same as Accounting
3. Finance is mostly about mathematics which I'm average by the way.
Please any advice you have for me?
I believe you need to think about the ideal job/role/career for yourself and work backwards towards your choice. Finance and Accounting are quite similar in the kind of roles they translate to. Both finance and accounting involve math and calc, both can be considered tough and both require you to engage with people. So you need to be sure what your end goal is first.
I'm contemplating between two degrees
1) Bachelors in Applied Accounting
2) Bachelors in Banking and Financiall Technology
I really want to be an investment banker/chartered accountant but I'm not sure which of the two course is right for me. Some guidance would be very helpful.
Unfortunately, i'm not able to provide guidance here since i'm neither of the professions shared. Maybe a career guidance counselor can help. Both courses are good though
Definitely Banking and Financial Technology.
Heuristic: Which one deals the most with routine behavior and processes like checking and making financial statements etc? Those ones are the first to be automated.
Considering the rapid trends of automation and AI. I'd say you should go with Banking & Financial Technology.
The versatility of skills that include human interaction and networking will be augmented, but not automated.
Banking and Financial Technology is more versatile and broad as a degree. Amidst the coming uncertainty you're agile and adaptable to shift to a specialized different niche more easily than if you'd do Applied Accounting.
Do not fall into the pitfall of specialization is better by default, that is an outdated logic.
I am qualified CMA, now confused whether to go for Fintech or Data science
Its a tough dilemma, but there are lots of data scientists working in fintech and other industries because its in demand
Fintech since it's modern and banks and start up needs any financial degree with Technology background
True
Integrated program in finance and financial technology. How is this program, is it worth doing? Please rply
Integrated Finance and Fintech Program: Is It Worth It?

May facilitate networking with industry professionals.
Considerations:
Program quality varies, so choose a reputable one.
Evaluate the program's cost and potential career benefits.
Align your long-term career goals with the program's focus.
Research the demand for finance and fintech professionals in your desired job market.
Is it too late for an SME & Retail Banker to join the Fintech era at the age of 45 ? 🤔
Certainly not
MBA finance students are the best to choose "FINTECH" to study ?
Any best answer please
They certainly are
Are the any affordable masters fintech degree i can apply for?
Yes there should be. It depends on what you deem affordable
I'm in my 30s and interested in FinTech would you still suggest a masters degree or online courses
I believe you can get value from both. It really depends on a number of things, if you have the budget for a masters then that will give you a more wholistic view of the fintech landscape and a lot of what is taught in the courses will be included. However, courses are cheaper and the learning is at your own pace so if you're working and may not have the time for a full degree program, a combination of courses would serve you best. I hope that helps.
@@JeremyQuainoo I have enrolled in a couple courses you have suggested
@@michaelrobinson8382 that's great Michael, I hope you get as much value from than as I did👍🏼
@@JeremyQuainoo Yes the they give a good talk about proptech, Fintech,regtech and insurtech. I'm also enrolled in u of buffalo blockchain course.
How difficult are upper level finance classes?
I would say the level of difficulty varies depending on the specific subject. But all are quite doable
International fiance qualifications like CFA, FRM and ACCA are quiet challenging and requires several years, lots of efforts and very high dedication to clear
Sir how can I talk to you
email me at remquainn@gmail
In which field more fintech is used and upcoming years which field to choose..
Fintech in itself is a field
@@JeremyQuainoo I mean banking, financial services, cybersecurity, investments,.. Etc

Fintech uses finance, and finance uses fintech
