JOB, FINANCE, SCHOOL, LIFE, NEED BACK UP
Hello everyone, how are you doing with this bipolar weather in NYC? I am in a bit of a contemplation on the outlooks and job availability's of a major. I want to know your thoughts on which position would be more suitable for me because I have to step up to the plate and start providing for my loved ones. I attend Baruch College, Math major 3.5 GPA. Debating whether I should follow this up with either a MSF or CFA to show my interest in finance? Or scratch that and switch to an Accounting major w/ CPA due to job security? Which one would be a better choice Accounting with the security and mediocre pay 55k (this will allow me to survive but food to mouth) or do you think I will have job security w/ the path of math and finance and how much do you think i'd start out with in this path? My proof said 100k but I can't wrap my head around it, although that would be awesome for my situation. Any help is appreciated, thank you sincerely.
Baruch has slowly reached its way to be a "semi-target" with GS/JP/Citi targeting students for IBD.
What year are you currently in and how old are you? It seems as if you are a bit older since 22 yo generally do not have to provide for their loved ones.
Because if you tend to be in your late 20s or early 30s, IBD might not be an option for you.
Accounting is definitely one of the most stable jobs in the market, you'll need an accountant regardless of the economy, though the work is boring, and as you mentioned, you're paying a premium for job security by the lower pay.
But we need a bit more info about you in order to give a valuable feedback.
Thank you Lou for taking the time to shed some advice, I appreciate your time.
I am currently an upper sophomore and will be turning 22 this year. The need to start providing is due to a passing in the family which has fortunately left us with enough funds to scrape by with and if willing, for me to obtain a MS from a CUNY.
And yes, I agree with everything on your perception of accounting. However, do you believe it may be worth it to pay that accounting premium now that you know more about my current situation and if not, what alternative would you suggest for a more suitable coarse of action?
Thank you for being a part of this.
