What Is a Good College Degree for Someone Looking to Become an Investor

at 1:22

From the episode: Vincent Chu @ Initialized Capital - Health Tech Innovations

Answer

While in first year in college, Vincent got sick and had to take an entire year off. It was a difficult experience, which got him to seriously consider what he actually wanted to do in life. Instead of becoming a doctor, as originally planned, Vincent switched to doing physics, his passion.

It was a "useless degree," as far as jobs were concerned, but it worked out, giving him a broad background in science and technology which he uses in investing today.
