Please distinguish between the finance jobs out there? |
What undergrad and possible grad background is most suitable for each job? In my experience, when people say "finance" they mean one of three completely different areas. One is accounting. Accounting is different than finance. Accounting is keeping the books (I know this is a huge simplification-I'm talking about financial accounting). Another area people mean when they talk about finance is in "investment / securities sales. Finally, there is the actual finance itself (which I'm in). It typically is concerned with the best use of company resources (i.e. profitability, mergers & acquisitions, etc...). If you want to get into accounting, then get a degree in accounting and look to get a CPA. If you want to get into investments and securities, then get a degree in finance, accounting, or even economics, then get your securities lisecences. If you want to get into finance, then follow the same thing as in investments, but get an MBA. Hope this helps. The occupations listed below are ones that you may be qualified to enter once you complete a Finance degree: Bank Tellers Bill and Account Collectors Billing Clerks Brokerage Clerks Budget Analysts Business Executives Compliance Officers and Inspectors Credit Analysts Credit Checkers and Authorizers Financial Analysts Financial Counselors Financial Examiners Financial Managers Insurance Adjusters and Examiners Insurance Underwriters Loan Clerks Loan Officers New Accounts Clerks Purchasing Managers Securities Salespeople Tax Examiners Tax Preparers www.gcic.peachnet.edu Any kind of financial or managerial accounting job - BBA in Accounting plus CPA license Financial analyst, treasury analyst, budgeting analyst - BBA in Finance Investment banking, Mergers & Acquisitions - advanced degree, MBA or Master of Finance |
