What should a new graduate with a degree in economics/finance do to find a job in the financial sector? To put it simply, what sort of entry level jobs should I be searching for, so that in 5 years I would be working as an investment analyst?

My thoughts:

>work towards my CFA
>pad up my resume with investment related stuff (i was in this investment club, etc)
>apply for teller jobs at big banks to try and get my foot in the door and hopefully impress my managers
>try and network if I get a job in a big bank

I don't have any related financial experience, just part time jobs at retail stores.

Don't apply for teller jobs at banks. Apply for financial analyst jobs at underwriting firms (the ones who control who the banks give money to). You've got a degree, use it.

>want a job, any job
>can't fucking land a single thing
>have a ton of interviews
>they all want me to come up with examples of my experience in x y or z
>right on my resume that my experience is one tax-preparation stint and fucking starbucks
>they act disappointed in facts they already fucking knew
>these are literally entry level jobs that should not need fucking experience
>they seem to have enormous expectations for me but the jobs are shit and the pay is fucking shit
>no matter what I say in an interview I can't seem to please them
>they pay poverty wages that would barely allow me to live
>keep getting passed over by assholes with 200 years experience
>think about killing myself every day
>think about shit I can't admit to online

For god's fucking sake you fucking assholes. I'm in debt up to my eyeballs and will have to beg for food in 3 months if I don't get a job. Why is this world so fucking shit? I've been turned down for god damned DATA ENTRY jobs. If there was a cliff in a bikeride's distance from me I would jump off it at this point.

Oh, here's something fun. Apparently this is a breakdown of where recent accounting grads similar to me end up. Half of people are in sales or customer service, aka min wage. A good third are unlisted, presumably unemployed.

Please fucking kill me.
