I still remember when I opted for commerce in my graduation, how clueless I was. I did not have a commerce background in school and landed up in college without a speck of knowledge about commerce. The terms ‘ Private equity ’, ‘ Balance statements’, ‘Mutual funds’, ‘Liabilities and assets’ take a toll on me and for months together I had to figure out what they meant.
