What's up, rich friends? Welcome back to another episode of Net Worth and Chill with me,

your host Vivian2, aka Yerge BFF and your favorite Wall Street girlie. So, a question I get a lot

is why I left Wall Street. And I'm sure you're picturing Wolf of Wall Street throwing cash around.

It seems amazing. They're going to fancy dinners. And, in part, that is a little true, but I had a

really good reason to leave. And, since you guys all seem to be so curious, I thought I'd

talk about it. I'm going to be brutally honest. We're definitely going to touch upon some of my

major insecurities. And, I hope that I can leave you with a gold negative wisdom that I learned

that you're able to take into your own career. So, let's get started. So, my whole life, I've kind of

my high school. I was accepted into the University of Chicago, and if you haven't heard of it,

it has this big reputation of being this really economics forward school. Even if you aren't an

econ major, you're learning quite a bit about economics, how the world works, how things interact

with each other. And, as most Asian parents do, my parents recommended that I go down one of three

paths. So, I was either allowed to study law, medicine, or engineering, but I decided to study

economics instead. I wanted to learn about, you know, what you Chicago was really known for, and I

wanted to change the world. And, I was so bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. But, unfortunately, for me,

turns out the economics major at the world's top university for economics is quite competitive,

and quite challenging. And, it was the first time in my life that I'd really struggled

academically, and I ended up getting a C-plus in the very beginner-based level econ class.
