There are a lot of different opportunities. You can work in commercial banking, as a loan officer, and work your way up. You can work for the government as a financial examiner or something of the sort. Also, finance is a fantastic degree if you want to do something with insurance, i.e. a claims adjuster, claims representative, or an underwriter. Finance will also give you the necessary knowledge to go into Real Estate too. So, obviously one of the benefits of having this degree is flexibility. It also easily transitions into an MBA (although not required or necessary.) Another benefit (depending on your school) is that finance is sometimes seen as an applied math degree, just depending on the difficulty of the major at your school. Hope this helps!
