Financial Futures
One advantage of a finance major is that it prepares you for a wide range of careers. Some graduates head for Wall Street to make big bucks in investment banking. Others prefer the security of working in the corporate finance department of a large firm, while still others combine finance and selling in fields such as insurance or real estate. If you like working with other people's finances, you might end up in commercial banking or financial planning.

After reviewing the descriptions of each career option, select two areas that you find particularly interesting and two that you find unattractive.

1. Why do you find a given area interesting (or unattractive)?
2. What experience and expertise are entailed by a career in a given area?
