What job should I go for with a bachelors degree in finance?
mayerj72 asked:
I have just received my bachelors degree and have so far only had small side jobs. When I’m looking online now, I don’t even know where to start. I know that I would most likely be starting off low, but I am looking for an industry that would be cool to work in with increasing opportunities in the years to come. Does anyone have any advice for that?

A finance major is very broad. Finance is only boring if you dont enjoy it. I love my job as a hedge fund accountant for an investment bank. It is always challenging and interesting. I can imagine a portfolio manager/trader role would be anything but boring. Could be stressful though.
- if your grades are very good you could move into investment banking. Striking deals and managing the deal process is a big money field (100k first year out with 500k bonuses commonplace)
- research analyst
- trader (equity, derivatives, bonds)
- you could even move into accounting if you have enough accountancy subjects in your course 40-60 k over the first 3 yrs out. At around 100-120 after approx 6 yrs
