What do people majoring in finance do?
While an accounting degree is meant to be broad and cover a diverse range of business functions, a degree in finance is more narrow in focus and not intended for everyone. Financial accounting is separate from accounting as it serves the decision makers outside of the organization such as banks, government agencies, stockholders and suppliers. It calls for a unique set of skills – ideally suited for you if you are outgoing and inquisitive by nature. You will bring your mathematical aptitude and ability to take your organization’s or individual client’s goals, resources and options into consideration while making your suggestions for their continued financial growth. This is one area where employment opportunities are influenced by your GPA and previous professional environment success.
