New York's Finance Sector information? (credit, job outlook, college)

[Sneak]

Hello! I am going to be attending Baruch College to get a finance degree. Apart from getting a finance degree, I have no idea what the finance job outlook and track is for NYC? Like what exactly are the entry level positions and salaries and what is the end-game or what? I'm not sure if this is the right forum but thank you!

As long as you keep up at least a 2.5 GPA, you will step into a six-figure job at a top firm working Mon-Fri 9-5.



Seriously, come on man!! There are so many variables with that type of question, it is impossible to answer.

The easiest way to get an entry level job is to attend Baruch's 5-year CPA program. You can work for an accounting firm for a few years then switch to a client (CFO track) or work for a commercial bank (credit, risk, etc.). Forget underwriting and advisory - those are shrinking job markets.
