What to do with an extra year

<p>Currently an 18 year old rapping up my first year at college.</p>

<p>Came in with credit hours equal to sophomore standing.</p>

<p>I want to work in corporate finance.</p>

<p>I attend the University of Georgia, Terry college of business.</p>

<p>I have a couple options.</p>

<p>In short, I can graduate from college a year early, with a BBA in Finance and a minor in Spanish, due to my AP credit and placement tests. After that, I could start working immediately, whatever Job I can get but hopefully as an entry level financial analyst at a regional/boutique investment bank, may happen may not. </p>

<p>I can alternately get my parents to pay for the remaining year in grad school. Go straight from UGA to a Master of Science in Finance program, somewhere like Vandy U of ILL BC etc. </p>

<p>I can alternately graduate in 4 years, get a double BBA in Accounting and Finance with spanish minor, and have the 150 credit hours I need to take the CPA. </p>

<p>My dream, career, life long goal is working as a VP or better at a respectable investment firm.</p>

<p>Which of these starting points is most likely to get me the highest paying job? Immediately and over time.</p>
