Need help!!! General Mgmt or Finance?

<p>I'm transferring soon to take upper division level courses but luckily I still have time to decide what to major in because there are still prerequisites to take as an upper division level student. I'm contemplating on whether to major in management or finance? I want to go with whatever makes more money in the long run and has less of a headache. Will I be better off with a management or finance degree financially? Which degree will have you working more hours? I'm assuming management. Also if someone has the info, can you tell me the level of difficulty for each major and the average entry level salary for the degree and which will have a higher salary in the long run? My brother in-law is a director of marketing at a telecommunications company and he majored in management. He told me to major in business admin but the schools I applied to doesn't have that as a concentration, basically if I were to major in any concentration it would be under business administration field. Any help would be highly appreciated!!!</p>

<p>FINANCE! get an MBA later.</p>

<p>IBanking you work 110 hours a week.</p>

<p>Upper-level management is a cake-walk. Finance, not so much.</p>

<p>In IBanking, you could make millions.</p>

<p>a degree in finance is a your ticket to millions of $$$$$$$...yes you are going to work long hours and have no life, but what job in business requires you to work a simple 9am to 5pm job anymore and you get paid good money...your choice man</p>

<p>awwwww man. One of the reasons I wanted to go into finance was because I thought I had to put in less hours than with a mgmt degree. I appreciate your honest opinions. I'm from Northern California and going to CSU sac, I don't think my degree from there could get me working at an ibank...I will still ponder with my decision, seems like with finance I'll be better off financially, I'm sure I'll learn how to invest and make my own millions if I can't get into an ibank. 110 hours is rediculous, they better pay hourly wages if I'm working that much lol. Don't banks close at 6pm??? I enjoyed my FINANCIAL accounting class more than I did MANAGERIAL accounting. I absolutely hated managerial accounting but I got a 96 on one of the midterms which I was absolutely surprised with. Oh boy, this is going to be some decision....MORE ADVICE PLEASE!!!!!!</p>
