Not mentioned here, but there's the elite world of high finance: private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, investment banking. These are the Rolls Royce of jobs that finance degrees enable. Most rich finance guys are from high finance (if not business owners), not from being a finance manager or some corporate role.
Also, the highest paying entry level finance job is investment banking. Including a standard bonus as well as base you can easily make $140,000 in your first year with upside to double it within a few years. You’ll have to grind like crazy on the hours side of things but it’s the most lucrative (and competitive) finance gig out of undergrad (assuming you’re not a genius quant and that PE / VC / HFs aren’t recruiting much out of undergrad)
Finance is oversaturated kind of like law. The “best” jobs when you’re talking about top corporate finance jobs, corporate/commercial/investment banking are pretty competitive. You have to network a lot, build out your resume, and be ready to grind for the job you want.
I landed a banking job at a bulge bracket bank but got rejected many times and spent countless hours networking and grinding to improve my resume and skills.
Caveat: I didn’t go to a “top” school. I’d imagine if you’re at an elite university this opens a lot more doors.
I hope this message finds you well, I am currently in need of financial assistance for me to work in South Korea. Your financial help would aid and help cover my Medical Expenses, Plane Ticket, and Processing Fees as I find myself in a very difficult situation right now. Any amount will be appreciated.🙏
Your Kindness would make a significant difference in my life.🩵
I loved finance. Graduated in 2007 and couldn’t find a job. It was a bad year to find a finance job. But for years after I couldn’t find a job. What pissed me off is I went to a bank and the job I wanted had a total idiot that didn’t know anything related to the position. I asked them “how did you get this job? Cause I am teaching you about these products, and your supposed to be teaching me” Ya my degree is useless. I’m in marketing making 6 figures
I’m 20 yo and ppl didn’t think I would go to college and I didn’t either, I was just thinking abt getting my welding license and calling it my life. But tonight I was I was looking at degrees and an actual college and I saw finance. It put a grin on my face bc I love to learn stocks and patterns. It gives me hope 🙂
I am studying business in community college but I want to get a more specific major for my 4 year degree so I think Finance is going to be my goal instead of business management
I'm just wrapping up my first year of core business classes moving into my majors next year. I'm majoring in both finance and management. Just wanted to pass on that, even 3 years on, this video is still providing value. Thanks
One thing about finance is you have to work way nore harder in the beginning but eventually once you get everything going good made investments you wouldn't have to work as hard in the future as other people.
I honestly don’t know whether I should major in finance or computer science 😭😭😭 I took three classes already that has to do with computer science but it stressed me out but don’t know whether I should continue or do finance instead
Idk what area this guy lives but in the northern Va/DC area you can expect to make 70-80k as an accountant or finance right out of college. In fact they recruit right out of university like the Big Four, they just have a gpa requirement

Accounting is a dying industry

is finance or international business degree better?

Btw anyone graduating rn or soon the outlook on finance has improved a lot. The average pay is higher than what the video says currently
What are some other options that are similar to finance that arnt so time consuming because I want time to spend with my family and my church?
What about a international finace degree
I feel as though there would be stress in a lot of Majors and jobs. It’s almost inevitable.
The best degree is computer science. But I’d say a mathematics, engineering, economics and finance degree are good too.
I'm just wrapping up my first year of core business classes moving into my majors next year. I'm majoring in both finance and management. Just wanted to pass on that, even 3 years on, this video is still providing value. Thanks
Silly question.
I didnt go to school for finance but i work wealth management but yes it is important
One thing about finance is you have to work way nore harder in the beginning but eventually once you get everything going good made investments you wouldn't have to work as hard in the future as other people.
It depends who you are and who you know..
What about an actuary?
It is very easy for AI to replace financial analysts since AI is much better to process and analyze those figures or numbers
How do you feel on somone is projected to graduate at 36yrs old ? Will their be obstacles as far as getting that first job?
I'm majoring in both finance and accounting
It is for me. I like my job and the classes I took. Also well paid. MS in Finance.
