Wall Street Woes
Large wall street layoffs and plummeting markets is all anyone who picks up a paper sees today. It is very hard to hide from today's deep recession and investment banks ( the type I would especially consider for a career ) are laying off thousands of employees. So this is mainly the cause of my current management problem. Do I change my major to direct my career in a safer and even prosperous job? or do I continue doing what I love and try and acheive something I always wanted which is getting an M.B.A in Finance. I feel like everyday I don't make the decision I go deeper into a dead end path. As an upper junior im still able to change before any upper level classes are taken. Tell me what you think! and thanks for your help.

Hey DJN. I dont have any real advice for you, but just wanted to tell you that you are not alone. I too am a finance major and am hoping that the job market in the sector will clear up and it probably will. Not willing to risk too much, I am thinking to change my major to Accting. I know I will lack some knowledge of finance, but its my next best bet. Hope this info helped you a little bit. Good Luck to you!
ReplyDeleteI think your current management problem is one that can be sympathized with from a lot of Baruch students. I have trouble finding a part time job let alone a full time job in the financial market. On the other hand what goes up must come down and vise versa. Things will get better and if that means holding out for one, maybe even two years it may be worth it in the end. Especially if it's something you really like and do want to do..and are obviously good at it. Good luck with your decision!
