What is a good backup plan if one can't hack it?

<p>I know that IB is tough to get into especially the top firms. But with this one has to major in the correct major or plan which classes to take. Can I transition easily with a finance major to other fields like accounting or a financial anaylist?</p>

<p>In addition can one work as a accountant and then try to re enter ib?</p>

<p>suicide. its the only option.</p>

<p>With a finance major, you are not only limited to investment banking. And remember that after several years of work experience, you can go get your MBA and go anywhere from there; the sky is the limit.</p>
