<p>whats better , i just want to get a job as quick as possible out of college,that'll pay $50k+.</p>
<p>Finance at a top business school. Investment banks pay $60k base and $10k-$15k signing with $50k-$85k end of year bonus for corporate finance analysts (fresh out of undergrad, 2nd and 3rd years get a $20k bump in bonus and $10k bump in salary, of course there is no signing bonus for those guys). With MBAs i-banking associates can expect total packages of over $300k (bonus included).</p>
<p>Keep in mind, though, that the firms paying you $135k+ straight out of college expect you to literally sell your soul to them. I-banking analysts literally live at work. If you want an estimate of hours, they work 9AM to 2AM (sometimes longer) weekdays and about 5-10 hours weekends. Hours improve, however, as you advance.</p>
<p>I would say go with what interests you... trust me, you get used to the money FAST... and if you hate going to work, you will literally become crazy from it. Long, hard hours are NOT for everyone, and the amount you have to give up for that (seemingly) large amount of cash may not be worth it. Time is priceless, you don't get to go back and get it once you've spent it, where money comes and goes throughout your life. If you enjoy computers and would like to make a career in Managing technology for a company then do the MIS, if you are interested in the aspects involved in I-B or Finance, then go with finance. Don't pigeonhole yourself, and definately don't chase money alone... you still have to enjoy the work, or the money will wear out really fast. </p>
<p>One of the biggest myths of multi-millionaires is that their sole purpose in becoming rich is dogged determination to chase the almighty dollar. The reality is they chased their passion, and the dollars followed.</p>
<p>i love MIS but supposedly theres gonna be much less jobs (outsourcing -.-).</p>
<p>I'm sorry, but I don't know if that's true... if you look at the bureau of labor statistics, MIS is expected to be one of the fastest growing careers from now until 2014:</p>

<p>A degree in MIS is perfect for all three of these career areas.</p>

<p>^ credible , i dont know</p>
<p>bls can say that but ultimately politics can affect, some politicians want to increase the number of visas.</p>
<p>Great information, but it's old... it's about stuff occuring in 2000 and 2001. The BLS, on the other hand, was updated in 2006. You have to read the reasoning behind the BLS's findings and it makes sense... a lot of the management and higher level IT jobs (one's that deal in systems security, and Accounting IS platforms) are not going to be outsourced. It's the associates degree programmer job that you quickly got after 1.5 years at ITT tech that's in danger of being outsourced. The consulting (analyst) and managerial IT jobs are just going to increase, and it makes sense. </p>
<p>An example to help contrast this point: tax preparation is a losing field because it's being outsourced, but one thing you can never outsource is tax planning and consulting, because it's individualized and requires a trustworthy relationship to provide such a service. lower level jobs with little effect/responsibility to a company are outsourceable. Stuff that requires specialization and higher level skills can't be outsourced, it doesn't work.</p>
<p>cool thanks 311griff</p>
