<p>Glen,</p>
<p>Within the past 10 years, UR has made a lot of inroads on the Street. A former Spider was very high at GS and made it a priority to recruit UR students. There are also a lot of networking opportunities via trips to meet with Spiders on the Street. It will be interesting to see how things shake out after the current collapse though, as I know a couple who have left their jobs (or been laid off). As the reputation of the B-school continues to catch up to the quality of the education, you’ll find more and more opportunities on Wall St. </p>
<p>That said, there are also a lot of places in DC, Charlotte, or even Richmond that are great for finance. I graduated with an econ degree and got an IB job in Richmond for a boutique firm. A couple of my bosses bought their own broker dealer and took me with them, and now we’re getting into private equity. </p>
<p>Job prospects for business school grads are very solid (perhaps not right now, but you don’t have to worry about that for another 4/5 years). You can find alumni placement survey results at this link ([University</a> of Richmond Career Development Center](<a href=“Career Services - University of Richmond”>Career Services - University of Richmond)).</p>
