The biggest difference comes with math as well, if you are good at mathematics versus if you are horrible at it, if you are horrible at it then you will have to work really hard to understand everything talked about here, whereas if you are really good at it or already studied finance related major in college then you are going to start understanding a lot quicker as well.
