Short And Long Term Career Goals
How have your personal, academic, and professional experiences led you to pursue the MSF degree at this time? Please discuss both your short– and long–term career goals, including your vision of your post–graduation employment, and describe how the Texas MSF will help you meet those goals.

Education is an important foundation for one's career and life. I want to have a full career in finance, ultimately running my own asset management firm, managing individual investments.
