  just go for it, like financial planner.
  
  You have to take up course in the midst in order to draft certain plans for your clients. So in other words, you still need the certs to be in finance...

  haiz...i really dun no what to do...actually i wanted to major in finance, but the admin office told me the course is over-subscribed and i missed it by a grade...now stuck with marketing and in the middle of no where...
  
  but later i realized that there are vacancies for double specialisation students to take finance as a 2nd major...fed up
  
  i really think this course is wasting my time and i really hate it!
  
  shouldnt they have advertised this fact in the prospectus in the first place? now just looking to clear my papers for next month exams and seriously re-consider whether i should continue or not...
