I would have advised you to consider more carefully what you are optimizing for and why. Financial services have a role in a society where we measure value using money - at a minimum we at least need to maintain systems to do all of the accounting. However, as the amount of energy / labor that we spend as a group focusing on one set of problems increases, we are left with a decreasing amount to solve all of the rest of the society’s problems. If everyone is a banker, who will grow our food and build our houses? I strongly disagree with your premise that all majors outside of finance “just teach you how to spend money”. Every area of study provides you with knowledge that you can use to solve real problems that we collectively face. “Do what you love” is idealistic advice that does not take into consideration the realities of a system which makes it extremely difficult to survive let alone thrive without money, but money should be a means, not an end.
