<p>I've heard about Investment banking, and I have learned that is a viable and lucrative job. What about other jobs, that you can get right after college that will pay pretty well, if you graduate with a degree in Finance? Assuming you don't have any money for a startup of something. </p>
<p>In this format please: </p>
<p>1) Job</p>
<p>2) Job Description ( what they would do overall and stuff) </p>
<p>3) Pay </p>
<p>4) Future Job outlook for this profession </p>
<p>5) Internships you can get in college to help get you into this profession</p>
<p>COULD YOU ALSO TELL ME - HOW HARD WOULD IT BE TO GET RECRUITED TO DECENT PAYING JOB IN EAST ASIA - JAPAN,CHINA,THAILAND - FROM LETS SAY A DECENT SCHOOL LIKE FORDHAM UNDERGRAD BUSINESS - ASSUMING YOU HAVE NO CONNECTIONS OR ANYTHING HOW WOULD YOU GET A JOB IN ASIA? Also, I'm not asian, so should I learn Chinese or Japanese if I hope to work in that area? </p>
<p>As i repeat, I'm talking jobs besides investment banking, so please don't bring that up - whether you think IB is the #1 career or the worst career, it has its pros and its cons like anything but just dont discuss it here.</p>
<p>I know that you explicitly stated that you werent interested of ibanking on this thread, but as part of a secret ibanking society here on CC it's a must for me to mention these 17 words. Investment banking. Okay now you can indulge in other busines professions.</p>
<p>Well realistically there is Consulting which pays around $60,000 out of undergrad at good places like Mckinsey, Bain and BCG.</p>
<p>There is also hedge funds, but even if you don't get paid a great amount the job experience will open practically every door for you so doing a stint at a hedge fund would be a great option.</p>
<p>There is also PE/merchant banking is what its called sometimes , but that is extrememly hard to break into out of undergrad.</p>
<p>The option of becoming a trader and broker are great too. If you can do S&T at an Ibank, you can make some serious cash. Well, if your good.</p>
<p>Then there are also some other options such as global and international money management for firms and people around teh world. Check out business school websites, its usually labeled as international and you will make about $60,000 and there are a lot of perks and traveling if your into that I hear. Its basically internnational finance. It might also get you into a better MBA program too probably.</p>
<p>Or you could work at some Fortune 500 company.....</p>
<p>no it is the GE(general electric) finance management program. You know how GE is made up of 6 subcorporations(Security, Healthcare, Industry, NBC/Universal, etc.)? For two years in 4 6-month increments, you would work in a different business to gain experience. This is what you might do right after college if you did well enough</p>
<p>Financial Analysts seem to make absolutely no money from research I have done of them, and if they successful after a long time they get into Investment Banking. That sounds pathetic having to be some job you don't want to do for years just to break into IB while some kids make it into IB straight outta college.</p>
<p>^^What the hell are you talking about, a financial analyst IS an entry level Ibanker. At BB firms they can make six figures right after college. I think your getting mixed up with financial analysts at regular companies not Ibanks</p>
<p>Thats what I meant Financial Analysts at regular companies, that after a while working for low money but doing a good job some regular companies transfer them to their IB division to make good money.</p>
<p>you have to realize all the large companies have there own M&A departments etc etc, just like an investment bank, and they do make good money. Corporations have investment arms that invest profits, buy outs, pension plans etc.</p>
<p>Did I mention Investment banking. If so, I'll repeat it. </p>
<p>Honestly though I think this is pretty much it. There arent much more business professions that generates enough dough to be considered besides the ones mentioned.</p>
