He\u2019s grown an interest in the business world and decided to select a finance major for his college career.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Halon decided to take on a finance major at UW-Whitewater. A good decision based on the university\u2019s credibility in business. When asked how his major affected him in his everyday life, he responded with, \u2018My major relates to a lot of things that I do in my everyday life. I invest in the stock market often. And knowing how to manage my funds that I spend in the market correlates to a lot of principles that are taught in finance. I must know how to cut losses or gains based off what the news provides.\u2019 Halon\u2019s knowledge of the stock market has made him profits. There\u2019s been some losses, but he notes a lot more positives than negatives in his trading.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Halon has been playing intramural volleyball throughout 2023-24.&nbsp;Playing it to stay active. However, he has no interest in including sports in his career in finance. Quote, \u2018I like to keep sports and finance separate. Sports are just to keep me active and occupied, and I like working with money away from the sports world. Plus, playing sports can be therapeutic for me.\u2019 Halon\u2019s volleyball play has helped him stay level-headed. Which is especially important when you are a college student.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Halon\u2019s career plan is not 100% set, but he has interests for his career. From Halon, \u2018For now, I\u2019m just going with the flow. I do not have a set plan, but I have interests. I enjoy learning about real estate, and I am interested in investment advising. As of now, I have an internship lined up to hopefully give me a straighter path into my career.\u2019 Halon\u2019s career in real estate or investment planning would suit him perfectly. He is outgoing and enthusiastic about meeting people and is a very genuine person who shows he cares. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, Halon\u2019s current life is in a state of controlled chaos, and with the career path he\u2019s chosen, that lifestyle is perfect. From investing in the stock market, to playing intramural volleyball, even his future in real estate or investment advising, the sky is the limit for the young finance major. There is no doubt he has a bright future ahead of him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Peterson March 4, 2024 Interview Story Eric Halon is currently an undergraduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
