It seems that everybody here talks about nothing but investment banking. I'm interested in majoring in finance. However, I don't want to end up in IB or management consulting. I would like to eventually end up making a decent amount of money (at least 100K), but I am not looking to become a multimillionaire. Can I still end up where I'd like, financially speaking and with a sense of job security, with a degree in finance? Thanks.

You could work in the finance department of corporations for about two or three years then go to get an MBA, and depending where the MBA is from 100K is a very reasonable amount. But while working in corporate finance from undergrad pay is only about 50K.

as Dbate said you can always become an analyst for some Corporate headquarters. 100k is reasonable in the long term w/good networking and w/inflation...but it'd be a lot quicker if you can get your MBA sometime along the way

50K will be looking pretty good in the next few years. IBs will not be doing much and the market will be flooded with fired IBer's.
