Finance is quite possibly the best degree in terms of money.

You not only have a degree that will always have a position (computers can never fully replace auditors because we need a human part to validate it), but you also learn how to manage your own money.

There's nothing wrong with learning how to handle money. It's a good choice!

Land a job, work hard, volunteer aggressively, seek leadership positions, do GMAT prep ->break 720, go to a good (T20) MBA program after 4-5 years out of undergrad, throw yourself into IB recruiting and pray

Dude finance is a legacy industry. Remember Blockbuster? WTF will we need Goldman for on ten years?

Bro, 95% of all businesses are under one million in sales. Perhaps a focus on small biz finances (a mini controller so to speak) might be a nice niche. Be independent. Put together a client list. Once a client is up to speed, maintaining them should be easy and allow you the freedom to get out of town and travel. Even on the road, a lot of company's accounting systems are in the cloud and you can work from anywhere. (source: me. I own a small manufacturing company)
