I am in the process of beginning my finance journey at a target undergrad school. However, sometimes I read the horror stories about finance and wonder what will happen if I were to burn out.
My question is if I throw myself into finance, what exit opportunities do I have if it doesn't pan out? What other industries could I transition into? Where do the IB burnouts end up going?

Get the job first then worry about your exits
Life is a chess game. I consider consequences and responses to those consequences before any move. Don't be salty friend.
Life is a chess game and you're playing checkers. We can't tell you what you're supposed to want or do, and you thinking otherwise proves you're minor league.
If life was a chess game you’d be able to perfectly play it (ie it’s solved). Try again
Congrats on target school
Please go have fun and worry about this later. You haven't even started college yet, enjoy life a bit.
Lmao will do sir 🫡
It's great you are thinking so far ahead but don't forget to tackle what is front of you to get there, and good luck!
