Yeah they are good but more like the 'few good apples amongst a carton full of rotten ones' !

I did check them; neither of the two offer an MSc in Finance ! In fact the closest that any institution in Pakistan does is probably Government College University Lahore in 'Banking & Finance' !

Aur GCU isn't the Government College that was ever so coveted to get into perhaps 40 years ago - So that isn't a good option, I think !

Yara, don't think too much about the status of the university, if you are good people will know automatically once you graduate. My best mate was head of VW aerodynamics team back in 2001. He just had a simple B.Eng. No masters, no PhD. It all depends upon your attitude.

And trust me you have the aptitude for Fianance, however, you lack one very very important characteristic. You are risk averse, which is not good to rise in Finance. You tend to over think and over analyze simple things.

As a friend once told me when I was 15 "Paralysis by analysis!" :D

My cousin, the one who works as the VP Mergers & Acquisitions UBS, said the same thing - Ahmad tuuu bohat darpoook haiii....take a chance on things ! Take calculated risks.

But 2 years down the lane - Meinn abhii bhiii darpooook tatuuuuu huunnn ! :fie:

Achaa khair on a side note :

Yaraa how does a career in Economics pans out in the context of Pakistan ? I ask because Economics is the one subject that I always liked more than anything else; Without even opening the Economic's book, the notes or doing any of the past-papers & being up the whole night watching the UEFA Champion's League final & then going there for my Economics A'levels finals I still managed to get an A at 98 ! :blink:

Just one subject that made the most sense ! Them electrons & neutrons were always a bit hazy for me, in fact in a fit of anger I might have told my Chemistry teacher to shove the periodic table up somewhere before my best friend had to bail me out with a deliberately broken burrette ! :D

Yaaar Economics was such a joy to study; I even study it now...as if one is reading a novel ! But I got dissuaded from going into that Profession & a BSc in Economics because whosoever I talked to & I talked to a lot of people, they'd say one of two things :

(a) Never really saw a proper Economist in Pakistan operating like that !

(b) Not a specialist qualification & so both the Financial Experts & the seasoned Chartered Accountants possess enough business acumen & economics know-how to get the job done at a company level.

(c) I've never met an Economist working in any Industry, Financial Advisory or Firm I know of !

(d) Maybe a profession as an Economist might have relevance working for a Bank or in the Academia but otherwise - No...nothing much !

That put me pull the brakes & I opted for Accountancy instead - The worst decision of my life ! :hitwall:

So now I'm thinking - Maybe just maybe I could revisit that & maybe even start with an added advantage of bringing to the table my 'accounting & finance' skill-set !

So maybe an Msc in Economics or Econometrics could be looked into, in preference to Finance, if there is a future there !

What do you say ? Be honest & lay it bare before me !
 
@Armstrong, I read your post. I am on the phone and have slight fever. Me reply in detail early tomorrow! :)
