What jobs can I pursue with a Finance major? Is Finance Boring?

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

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 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
