As an investor, the first rule is to never get caught up in your emotions. There are thousands of different (exciting) investment opportunities in today’s world, and some of them tend to be a bit riskier than others.

Student Debt: Impact On Student Choices, Kelsey Cavanaugh
Celebrating Scholarship & Creativity Day (2011-2017)
In 2010 student loans became the second largest portion of US debt. Today, the estimated total is 1.4 trillion.

With this, I can say that there is substantial evidence to suggest that people who graduate with accounting/finance majors tend to be significantly happier than the average U.S. person.
