Careers in Finance [future of the industry]

Well, my friend tells me that the business students at Manhattan have been advised against majoring in Finance because the jobs in that field are drying up - or so they’ve been told. With NYC being the financial capital of the world, I’m thinking that they should be well positioned to get a read on the status of that field.

But what subarea of finance? I.e. “investment banking”, “hedge funds”, or “private equity” (which is what people tend to think of when “NYC” and “finance” are mentioned together) versus the finance roles in many ordinary companies?
