alexandra8: What kind of careers can be obtained from a bachelors degree in finance?
I looked into careers like financial analyst and loan officer. I also know you can get jobs in insurance. What I would like to know more about is if this is a good career path. I looked up information on the internet of course, but I would like to know from people who have experience in this field. After reading the information on loan officer it seems like a good and interesting career, but is it hard to land a job in that area? What other jobs can you get with a degree in finance? Are all jobs going to be competitive to get?

Only YOU KNOW what YOU are INTERESTED in. So if you love finance, you will have no problem studying and obtaining a job. Despite it being competitive because your passion will drive you forward in reaching your desired job. All career fields are competitive, that’s life, unless you wanna become a hippie in a nice community growing your own tomatoes. Sometimes life feels like I want to retire to a hippie community to me.
They will be competitive and you will need to find a way to distinguish yourself from the field. One possible idea might be doing a double major in finance and accounting. Both fields are closely related and it would give you a larger field for you when you graduate.
Another possible double major would be finance and math. It would help you with finance and make you probably a stronger candidate.
The jobs you can get are varied from banking, to insurance, and management. Really the career options are fairly limitless.
My advice is simply no worry about the jobs being competitive and do your best. The more you work at your schooling and finding ways to distinguish yourself from the rest of the applicants the better off you will be.
