I've gotten a number of people to get a degree in finance. They all were insistent on getting a university degree, so I would explain why finance is a good choice instead of going for some shit degree that lacked opportunity. Most people think of Wall Street when they think of finance, and they are surprised when I explain that every business needs somebody who understands finance. (Can't say that about too many other degrees.) Also, finance is not so easily replaced by AI. Some aspects sure, but most of it is beyond the realm of machine learning.
I have a niece graduating high school in a few months who wants to go to university, but didn't know what she wanted to do. She is now going into finance.
