Re: Finance vs Accounting degree
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I don't know about other schools, but the recruiters at University of Illinois weren't very eager to recruit someone with just an undergrad finance degree - to me it almost seemed like a pre-law or pre-med major... wth do you do with it if you don't go further?

Are you being serious here, because this is pretty ridiculous?

Yes, 100% serious... but like I said, it's specific to my school. And even then, my view might be skewed because I didn't talk to every recruiter.
I suck at making points - I exaggerated by saying almost like pre med/pre law. Yeah, you could get jobs with a finance degree, but definitely not many higher end jobs.. definitely not compared to accounting. If I was going just finance, I'd definitely get an MBA.
