What jobs are available for graduates with a bachelor's degree in finance?

Nearly eight years ago, I completed my bachelor%26#039;s degree in financial management, with honors. But I have, since then, never been able to find a job dealing with finance--or even business at all. Are there any jobs for finance majors? Are others out their having trouble using there finance degree?

I have two suggestions:





1) Contact Robert Half through their website (www.roberthalf.com) or by telephone (1-800-474-4253) and request their 2008 Salary Guide for Accounting and Finance positions.





2) Talk with a professional that knows about careers in finance. You could talk with the Robert Half company, a career counselor at your school, or locate an career counselor that you will need to pay. These sources can tell you what is in demand and what you need to qualify for these positions. Also, keep in mind that your dream job may only be available to you after you work in other positions (gaining the necessary experience).





Learn from these resources and others (discussion boards, websites, membership organizations). Then create a short-term and long-term plan and work the plan. Finance is a very good field. It should not take 8 years to take your first step. However, it could take many more years, before you get your dream job. Be patient, but be persistent.
Reply:There may be a problem with the fact that you haven%26#039;t used your degree yet. But, I work at a %26#039;Financial Institution%26#039; and alot of our employees have some sort of degree in finance. You could work in alot of areas of a bank, brokerage firm, insurance firm, for some examples.


The first thing you can do to start is put up a resume with what it is that you would like to do (once you figure that out)- a good place to start is a Monster.com or CareerBuilder-
