Where could you employ a MEDIA PERSON with a Master in Finance

Where could you employ a MEDIA PERSON with a Master in Finance?
Hi. I am doing an internship in Capital Markets which is a very specialized area and I am learning the basics. I studied Media before, Communications. These guys are telling me to work in a field of media where knowledge of finance is needed, or start bottom bottom at my age in a lousy job in Finance. Could anyone tell me in which enterprises could you need a person who has the creative and a bit of the financial world?

Your best bet is to try for a job in the public relations department of a financial firm or a niche publication, such as a magazine or newspaper that specialises in business or finance.

I Would Have Thought that Accounting would Be Of more use in M&A As Complete understanding of a company's books Accounting bases And Particularly the Various Anomalies that Creative Accountancy (Legal & Otherwise) Introduces into the Melting Pot.....Being Able to Assimilate a Multitude of Flying Concepts and their Possible / Probable OutComes Particularly when Viewed Against Governmental Controls & Constraints Is I Believe of Paramount Importance. Your Absorbing Thoroughly The Fundamentals Of A Business Structure Will or Should Arm You With the Ability to Tear away the layers Of Historical Malpractices to Reveal the Sound base on Which to Rebuild or the Basis On Which to Reject the company (to be Acquired) Reading / Discovering the Hidden assetts or Weakness of a company Will Afford You the Opportunity to Excel where Many Before You Have Blindly Failed..On Numerous Occasions it Can Be Enlightened Interpretation Which is the ruling Factor in Merger Deals.. In Regard To the Financing Studies Best to Keep them Rumbling along at the Same Time if Possible as The Finance World Has a Lot of New Ideas and Regulations to Absorb Before they will start showing a clearer Level Of Integrity And In Turn Win Respect And Trust of the World's Financial Community and the General Public.... Just the Thoughts of.. .... A Layman With a Security Background ( Watching And Curbing Thieves (Magicians) and Their interminable Mindshifts to Realise a Quick Buck.)... Sounds Like the derivatives Markets Eh ?....Usually The Common Denominator is Simple Greed on Greed ! .... They.. Wouldn't Sell Their Grandmothers But They Would Steal Back her Polished Oak Coffin if They Could.. Enjoy Your Studies,& Gd Luck!

Have a look at your "marketability". A young friend of mine majoring in Business has found that "the Bachelors degree today is about as common as high school graduation" and to have a good selection of employers, a Masters is needed.

It doesn't exactly work like that. You don't get paid by the degree - you get paid for a job. Some jobs happen to require certain degrees but that doesn't mean that just having the degree will get you the job or the money. Very many jobs that require a master's degree also require considerable experience for advancement. The exception is public school teaching and some government jobs. With a master's in finance you can apply for some jobs that a bachelor's holder can't even look at. Community College Instructor is one example. Having the master's if you want to be a community college instructor means you'll earn 100% more than the bachelor's holder because you can't get that job with a bachelor's degree. Many jobs don't require a degree at all. Get yourself one of those and you'll earn exactly what people that don't have a degree earn. For example: bank tellers don't need a master's degree and most don't have a bachelor's degree. In this example, the master's degree earns you exactly nothing. Clarify this idea and you'll become much happier. Job X pays $Y. It's that simple. Bartenders make a certain amount of money - even bartenders with a PhD in Philosophy. With some few exceptions (school teachers) - there is no benefit in the same position with/without the degree. Except; the degree is sometimes required to get the job and the degree holder will likely perform better and therefor advance faster. There is a common myth that a higher degree will automatically result in higher pay. This is due to a misinterpretation of some statistics - it's "generally true" but not "universally true". It's not the degree that earns the money - it's the person in a position (who may need a degree or experience or certification to reach the position). In your town, who earns more? Is it the person with a bachelor's degree that waits tables or the person with just a HS diploma that builds houses? What you need to look at then is occupations. Many occupations require a degree in finance. They don't all pay the same - even with the same degree. Look at the different occupations and determine what it is you want to do. Then find out what education and experience is required to do that. Don't confuse "what's your favorite class" with "what do you want to be when you grow up".

I have an MBA. It depends, are you an analyst now or a manager now? Later? Both require finance, one more than the other (obviously.) Time is not the issue, where do you want to go? Do? These questions are more important than the actual options.
