Just left you a comment. Finance is a very broad umbrella at most companies. The best idea is to try and figure out exactly what interests you in finance and focus on getting a job in that (analysis, research, risk management, treasury etc..). Walking out of college with a degree in finance and trying to find a specialty at that point is a huge mistake. Trust me, I've done it! 

Thanks for your comment, I think that is a good call!

I would really appreciate anyone who works in finance/investing/banking/accounting/etc to stop by and leave a comment!  I'd appreciate it and I'm sure my reader will as well!

 

Career Choices in Finance

 

Thanks!
