What kind of job can someone get with a bachelor's degree in Finance?

Right now I am doing accounting work and working under two certified public accountants. I'm interested in becoming a financial analyst, but I'm just curious to see which other jobs I'd be eligible for.





Which job or occupation would I be able to obtain with a degree in Finance and a year of working under two CPAs?





Thank you very much!

Reply:You can apply for virtually any entry level job in any discipline and be fine. However, the next step in your career may not mean a significant pay increase. If you check the job boards, most of the mid-career positions require a bachelor's degree and prefer 5 years of experience.





The position of financial analyst is broader than you may imagine. This is a somewhat generic term with a great variety in job descriptions while the job specifications (qualifications) will be similar in nature.





I would suggest that you spiff up that resume and get active in looking at these jobs. The position that you are in will lend itself to carving a deep career track toward accounting that once deep enough could serve to limit or delay your ultimate destination if it is outside of accounting.





One thing that you must always remember is that any job is attainable if you go about it the right way. For me, I never finished college, but still made my way in life to a six figure income by the time I was 30. It wasn't easy, but I never let 'requirements' from an HR geek deter me from my goals.





When asked in job interviews about any shortcomings, find ways to turn them into positives. I left...errr got booted from college with a 0.33 GPA. I remember an interviewer asked me about this and assumed it was a typo on the application. I simply answered, "No, that's right. I earned it. I spent a lot of time working on my communications skills" and we both had a good laugh. Got the job and it was a good stepping stone in my career.





One of the best books that I've read on job hunting was "How to Land Your Dream Job" by Jeffrey Fox. It is an excellent resource and a quick read to boot.





In the end, the answer to your question is: Do whatever you please.
Reply:I would suggest avoiding anything that has anything to do with income tax. Income taxation may be abolished soon leaving a lot of people in that field looking for new jobs.
Reply:Take as much math and accounting as you can. Just try to apply for internships in things that seem interesting to you. Maybe your school has a finance club where you can search.
