¶ … Career Objectives
Pursuing an MS in Finance is the first step toward beginning the rest of my life. I am excited to be this close to graduating from college and taking the next step, entering graduate school. I am pleased about moving closer to launching my career and about exploring the possibilities that lie ahead. This Statement of Purpose discusses my progress to this point and my plans for the future, and considers how an MS in Finance will help me achieve my goals.
Because I understand that a Masters degree does not automatically qualify me for career advancement, I want to pursue realistic goals, and that includes personal satisfaction. Whenever I have considered my long-term educational plans, I always thought in terms of a Masters degree, and possibly even a doctorate. So obtaining a masters degree will satisfy one long-term goal and put me in position to pursue another one.
Another personal goal has been to learn about subjects that fascinate me and getting an MS in finance will help me do that. I will be taking a number of classes on subjects that I want to learn more about. Once I master these subjects thru graduate studies, I get to work in a field that lets me make use of this knowledge.
Because of investing so much time and effort in undergraduate school, I have also had a lot of time to consider career objectives, and what it will mean to have an advanced degree. I plan to work in a field that I am passionate about, and that means the continued study of finance. The more I learn about the field of finance, the more fascinating I find it. Graduate school will help me expand...
I chose finance because it is a subject that has always interested me, but that is only one reason for my choice. Another reason involves my personal experiences. The challenges of figuring out how to pay for a college education have also influenced this career choice. As an undergraduate student, budgeting and money management have been a significant part of my life, challenging at times, but rewarding. I believe that working in the field of finance will be similarly rewarding, particularly with an advanced degree.
Sometimes my classes have not been easy. But overcoming academic challenges has given me a sense of confidence about pursuing my future studies. Proficiency in math is one example of how much progress I have made. Because math was not my favorite subject, I had to study harder to pass the required math classes. But at the same time, having to put in that extra effort only increased my determination to do well in something that I found challenging. By…

Finance Question 1.a) Bond ratings encompass a wide range of elements related to the credit risk of the firm. Moody's notes that bond ratings include elements of default probability, loss severity, "financial strength" and "transition risk" (Cantor & Fons, 1999). The authors note that within the same sector, bonds of the same rating tend to be comparable both with respect to overall credit quality and specific credit quality characteristics. Over different

Finance Financial Management in Non-Profit Organizations Financial management of not-for-profits is comparable to financial management in the commercial sector in a lot of respects; but, certain key variations shift the focus of a not-for-profit financial manager. A for-profit company focuses on prosperity and capitalizing on shareholder value. A not-for-profit organization's main goal is not to augment shareholder value; rather it is to offer some socially attractive need on a continuing basis. Budgeting
