<p>So I have applied to some colleges and got accepted into finance in most of them. Right now looks like getting a bussines related major seems to be risky as there is not much demand. I'm on a limbo of deciding what should I study. I've applied to another college and got accepted for pharmacyD. I truly love both majors, and will be happy studing on any of them. If I elect pharmacy probably I will have the comfort of job stability. The thing is that I see myself being a business man or working in a corporation. I always dreamed since I was a kind, working on the tall buildings downtown. What do you think about studing finance?</p>
<p>What schools were you accepted to? (For finance)</p>
<p>I don’t know a lot about finance specifically as a major (it seems to me like there are always new companies in need of accountants, financial advisors, etc), but if you really don’t think there would be job opportunities don’t do it. I have a friend who majored in forensics, which she loves, but she’s been working at a grocery store for almost 3 years with college loan debt and no job in her field. Being overqualified is never good for you. It’s just a waste. </p>
<p>But if paying college off or being overqualified doesn’t bother you, go for it. Some people are just really passionate and can’t see themselves doing anything but what they absolutely love.</p>
<p>I got accepted into Fordham, DePaul, Drexel, U of San Francisco, and Carnegie Mellon University.</p>
<p>Of that list, CMU and Fordham are definitely tops.</p>
<p>You should have no trouble finding a job in Finance if you go to CMU or Fordham (And do what you are supposed to do while you are there of course)</p>
<p>If you’ve already heard back from CMU, doesn’t that mean you ED’d there?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t base this huge decision on the job market at this moment in time. After all it will be four years until you graduate, and at that time there may be a glut of pharmacists and a real need for finance majors. And even after you graduate, what will the job market for each of these careers be for the next 40 years? There’s just no way to know. You are considering two very different careers, and I would focus more on deciding which you would be happiest doing rather than short term fluctuations in the job market.</p>
<p>Talk to friends and family and try to use any connections they might have to talk to people who work in each of these fields. Try to visit them in their offices and get a better idea of what their jobs are like. Think about what you are most passionate about and what would make you happiest in the long run.</p>
<p>For the next 10 years at least, finance majors will be needed.</p>
