Finance is a good major, but it might be better if you got higher than a BS. One of my dad's degrees is a Masters in Finance and he's done extremely well.

I personally plan on getting doctorates in Philosophy, Political Science, Law, and Linguistics. I'll be in college for about 25 years, but the topics are interesting.

HEY! I have been in school for over 3 weeks now!

You say finance is a stupid degree, but my plan is to get a PhD in finance to go with my BS. I believe you are a very rude person; I was just trying to give a little bit of insight into these people still in high school. I like finance, that is why I chose finance. I like computers, but unfortunately, when you go to college, you have to choose something, and finance is what I chose. Maybe your family is rich. Maybe you can afford to spends years in school. I could not afford things had it not been for the full ride I got which stipulated what I could study because the scholarship was a finance scholarship.
For you to call it stupid shows your ignorance. It is an amazing feat to graduate from college at the age of 20 because that means I am 2 years ahead of the game.

been back in school for two weeks, (im a senior this year) and cant wait to get out, move to henderson (to be with my g/f) and start at ITT, as soon as i can start in life, the better.

mikeandike, that was a rude comment, and comments like that are not appreciated, what someone chooses to do in life compared to you is their choice. what you may think 'stupid' someone may find to be the best thing to do. so please keep immature comments such as that to yourself.
Dont forget to spread the reputation to those that deserve!

Finance is a great degree. My dad a finance degree and he makes $200,000+ a year. It also opens up options for many feilds and it looks great on all resumes. A finance degree and knowledge of a specific feild can get you a job in the finance feild of something like a computer company.

There are also great entry level positions in Finance and most of the low-end computer jobs have gone overseas (Thanks George W).

Computer science can also be self-taught for near free with enough effort, where as finance is usually a feild that needs a mentor/teacher.

Are you in computer science? If so, what level of degree?
