So, I was recently generally under honorable conditions discharged from the U.S Army. I am still fairly young (22)-- I decided to go to college to get a Bachelors in Finance, I initially was going for Economics but after much research I saw that Finance is more employable, is this true? What are some of the careers I could be doing?

Yes, Finance grads are pretty employable. Same with accountants. Every business needs people who understand the numbers, no matter what kind of business it is.

I have an Economics degree.

You should not have a hard time finding a job with any kind of business degree. If economics is more interesting to you then finance, I would go for it.

Honestly- most of the people i've worked with don't do what their major is in. It's a stepping stone, a way to get your foot in the door.

But business or finance is an excellent choice - very transferable.

Type of jobs is up to you; you'll need to get something entry level. Banking, Investments, Management..
