existence asked:
I am a college student majoring in economics. I also want to get a master’s degree in financial economics or financial engineering. My question is , to those who work in finance or those who might know, what are my options after i graduate with a masters of finance degree….ive heard about investment banking and i know its very multifacted but is that the only option.i also realize an investment banker has to work a ridiculous amount of hours per week. also, are there any jobs in finance with reasonable hours.

There is a plethora of different Finance positions. The most prominent would probably be a Portfolio manager(based on salary and market competition), but I would definitely research your options. One thing to consider would be your major. I’m not sure how majoring in Economics is beneficial to a career in Finance. Sure, they have similarities but differences as well. Key thing, Economists deal with possibilities and Financiers deal with meeting those possibilities.
