Degree in investing?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
The best bang for you buck is probably a finance or accounting degree. Finance is geared more towards finding the ideal investment opportunities and running various analyses. Accounting is geared towards ensuring the company's financials are accurate and flow adequately across business divisions.

Both very useful degrees for your objectives.

Those are two different skill sets - business management is not the same as investing. There will be investment units of any big company to manage the corporate accounts, and managers that focus on the operational goals of the company. Not the same people at all.

I'm looking into going back to school for a business degree. I'm trying to do as much research as I can into the type of degree I want. what I really want to learn is how to invest and manage your own business. What I'm afraid of and what I've heard through numerous experiences are that some degrees are worthless. I would ask the college councilor but it seems like they don't care much on the value of the degree is in the best interest, but they rather focus on selling you something that could be potentially worthless. I really want to go cooperate for the experience and then eventually own my own businesses or investments. So my question is what degree would be valuable for both corporate and as business owner?
