I have been studying at Carey business school for 8 months and I am approaching the end of the MSF program now. During these months, I have learned a lot and improved my studying as well as working ability. Besides the courses which taught me a lot of things about finance, the most important thing that I obtained is that I have had a deeper and more comprehensive view about the financial industry. In the past, I was good at dealing with some academic cases and doing some standard calculation and analysis, but if someone asked me what is the real financial market and what kind of exact jobs you want to do, I would not have a clear idea. However, in the days at Carey I met many excellent guys and had lots of communication with them, knowing their experiences and learning from them.
For the future, I have found a good job in Shanghai and I think that what I have learned at Carey can help me a lot. For example, I am learning “Financial Modeling” and “Mergers and Acquisition” in Spring two and these courses are directly related to my job. I believe that after finishing these courses I am going to have a clear mind about these two areas and basic working skills. And the most useful thing I learned is some programing software and how to use them to deal with financial deals. This is extremely important because we are stepping into big data era and using computer to do data analysis has been a basic requirement. In the future, the companies will need comprehensive talent rather than people who are only good at one single major. At last, I have improved my English skills during these months. It is necessary to mention that I took summer intensive program and ELP course which give me many chances to speak, write and listen. It is known that English is very important when doing international work and I would not have chances to practice if I did not come here. In a word, I really appreciate this wonderful experience.

Last winter break, I traveled to the California with my girlfriend and I have to say that this was really a wonderful and unforgettable trip. We had a 10-day road trip there which started from LA, then to the Las Vegas, Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon in Arizona, and finally back to LA. We got our car from the leasing company after we arrived at LA airport and set off for Las Vegas the next day. The west coast of the United States is so different from the east coast. There were not many trees along the road, just desert and stones. However, it was indeed beautiful especially when it was against rosy evening clouds. After we arrived at Las Vegas, the first place that we visited was casino! There were many big casinos and each of them is located in a senior hotel with ornate decoration. I had to say that this city was full of energy. It could keep busy and noisy until midnight.
