Is Corporate Finance a Good Career choice for me?

I wanted to go into Equity Research, probably focusing on the Media industry, as that's where my WE has been so far and I was hoping an MBA to learn the finance side. However, I keep hearing it's tough to get into because it's a cost center and jobs are more likely to be cut. Also, I'm very intrigued by Wall Street, virtually every book I read is on the topic. That said, I'm not sure my personality fits it. I'm relatively stress and risk averse. I also feel like it's not that stable. I feel like corporate finance might be more my speed. The part that I was most interested in ER was analyzing financial statements, less so all of the other stuff. I feel like CF can give me more of that. I'm more of a numbers guy (I'm no math genius or anything, but I really enjoy numbers, analysis, and financial statements). Every time I read a book about analyzing financial statements I really get excited. Also, I think I might have a chance to get into McCombs off their waitlist. They seem to place well in corporate finance and have the #1 accounting program in the US. I would rather go back to NY though. Does CF sound based on this limited info, like something that could be a good career for me? Thanks!
