openingdoors - You must be joking. First of all - consulting and auditing are absolutely careers you can get into with a degree in finance. That is pure fact. Which is what the OP was asking for. Now, if you're trying to be snooty here, yes I suppose you can consider auditing and consulting not finance in the form most people think about it, but that's nitpicking. It's a career path that a finance major can enter. Period. I'll reword my first sentence if it'll make you happy: "There's a huge array of different careers out there you can pursue with a degree in finance."

Also, I have no idea where you're getting your information on Sales and Trading from. The word that invalidates your entire post is "analysts." S&T consists of brokers and traders. It is indeed a function inside an investment bank in that they execute orders from up top. But otherwise you seem lost - their pay is almost entirely performance based, from betting on the market. Case in point: Kerviel.

Please don't come on this board pretending to be some great lexicon of knowledge. There's plenty of things I don't know, too, it's just I don't waste my time spewing them as fact. And try not to act knowledgeable by using slang such as "paid street," which I'm not sure even exists but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt (very little). See, I admit it when I haven't heard of something, you should try the same.
