Finance Degree?

- Financial Planning

Businesses, public and private, small and large, need people who are skilled in finance to make sound decisions that will benefit a company's continued financial growth. Finance professionals make investments, oversee long-range financial planning, acquire assets, and work with existing resources. A wide variety of companies and organizations employ finance professionals, ranging from nonprofits to government agencies to global corporations. People who work in finance need more than financial proficiency, as these jobs often require people skills, creative and critical thinking, and confident decision making.

A variety of jobs are available to finance professionals, including budget analyst, investment banker, real estate, loan officer, money manager, underwriter, and personal finance advisor. Careers in finance usually require at least a bachelor's degree, and many jobs require a license or certification such as Chartered Financial Analyst (CPA) or Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) designations.

Coursework for a finance degree is more general than that of a financial management degree, which focuses more on management and analytical skills. General finance study includes international finance, investments, financial management and money, and banking. The job outlook for finance professionals is positive, as data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics project the market will grow 21 % between 2002 and 2012. The average salary for a finance professional is $56,380, according to a 2004 Bureau of Labor Statistics report.
