<p>I have always thought of myself as a premed but lately I have been thinking of doing something involving business. I have looked into different careers in business and I have come upon a foreign exchange broker. I would be able to use my skills in japanese(have been taking for a year already) and work with money. The thing is I haven’t really prepared for a degree in in high school and have all my classes are tailored to a degree in medicine. </p>
<p>I most likely will be going to Michigan State this fall. The thing is from what I have been reading what school you go to is very important in the business, a lot more important than the medical field. I fear that Michigan State isn’t a good enough school to be competitive in the business field. Do you think I should try to transfer to a better school after freshman year, or stay at Michigan State. </p>
<p>The thing is I have read a little on foreign exchange brokers/traders and proficiency in another language is highly valued and a degree in economic, statistics, mathematics, or an M.B.A is high valued. Study abroad is also considered invaluable. The thing is Michigan State has a VERY good japanese program and has the largest study abroad program in America, so my decision on whether to stay here is a little bit harder. I was most likely planning on double majoring in economics/japanese, but if this isn’t a good idea please tell me.</p>
<p>And, what do you guys know about becoming a foreign exchange broker. What does it all entail. How long should you go to school. How much do they make. From what I have read so far the job entails the buying and trading of currency among other things. But extra information on this job would be invaluable to me.</p>
<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I appreciate your time in answering someone that in fact might be asking dumb questions.</p>
