I'd agree to some extent - the Big 4 has a huge presence at U of I because of the accountancy program's reputation, but in my experience finance majors were not struggling to get jobs. I went the Big 4 route and my roommate who I'd describe as an average finance major got a job with JPMC and is making at least 2x the money I am fwiw.
