<p>How much, on average, can you earn with a degree in finance, without having to work like a slave?</p>
<p>And also, assuming that, you graduated from one of these schools:
McCombs
Wharton
Olin</p>
<p>Why are you so concerned with the salary? You’ve posted a zillion topics about specific salaries. </p>
<p>If your interests are math and science related, you’ll make an above average living. Find what you enjoy most and worry about the salary from there.</p>
<p>Enough with the salary threads. Payscale.com, please.</p>
<p>brah, to make money, you’re going to have to work really hard. Nobody is going to pay you to smell the roses.</p>
<p>yeah, i guess you’re right about that.</p>
<p>Each school most likely publishes it’s starting salaries. There would probably be a considerable spread between Wharton and Texas.</p>
<p>haha sorry, that was kind of an obnoxious answer, but since you really want a job that makes good money with good life balance, look into actuarial science, especially if you like math. You’ll have to work really, really hard initially to pass all the tests, but after that, you make doctor/lawyer money without the hours, and you don’t need to go to Harvard to get recruited.</p>
<p>If you work like a slave, how would you get paid?</p>
<p>i’ll tell you what many successful men and women have told me. Do what you enjoy, and the money will come.</p>
<p>What happens to an actuary who is not able to pass all of tests?</p>
<p>to paraphrase the words of my cousin, a senior VP at BofA who had to work his way up…business/finance are great ways to enjoy a stimulating career and be rewarded generously. You bust your butt in your 20s, but by the time they are wrapping up and you come into your 30s, he told me “I work a lot less than I did before and get paid a lot more to do it.” Besides, when you are young you can afford to put in all the hours. You have to put in your time anywhere. You start off at the bottom of the totem pole and, in reality, that’s how it should be; no one is owed anything regardless of gpa/big-name college/connections. When you prove yourself you will be rewarded handsomely with position and salary. Just stay tough until then</p>
<p>student01 , if you fail your exams, then you can’t become an actuary. if you mean what if you have an exam, become and actuary with 1 exam and fail your other exams while you are working as an actuary, then nothing really happens. you just gotta retake it if you want to move up and get paid more</p>
