<p>It seems that everybody here talks about nothing but investment banking. I'm interested in majoring in finance. However, I don't want to end up in IB or management consulting. I would like to eventually end up making a decent amount of money (at least 100K), but I am not looking to become a multimillionaire. Can I still end up where I'd like, financially speaking and with a sense of job security, with a degree in finance? Thanks.</p>
<p>You could work in the finance department of corporations for about two or three years then go to get an MBA, and depending where the MBA is from 100K is a very reasonable amount. But while working in corporate finance from undergrad pay is only about 50K.</p>
<p>as Dbate said you can always become an analyst for some Corporate headquarters. 100k is reasonable in the long term w/good networking and w/inflation...but it'd be a lot quicker if you can get your MBA sometime along the way</p>
<p>50K will be looking pretty good in the next few years. IBs will not be doing much and the market will be flooded with fired IBer's.</p>
