> It depends largely on what you’re doing with it, but there’s no way you can be as fluent and up to date in finance. If its just a matter of sticking your savings chunk somewhere, any finance major can handle it, but to get the most out of your money he/she has to be researching market conditions daily or hourly, not quarterly.

That’s why I don’t feel so bad for letting the professionals deal with that. I wish I had the time to handle it myself but I don’t have the time or skills. I think it’s a bad decision for me to take control of something that I am not fully invested in.
