The issue of difficulty is moot. Finance is the most useless degree you can get. I know, because I have a bachelor's. Most jobs are looking for accountants to fill their finance needs. And all the great jobs go to east coast, ivy league, honor students. If by some chance you happen to be average, you'll toil in average jobs for at least ten years. I'm five years graduated with a finance degree and I finally have a decent finance job like the school counselors described, and I make as much or less than a plumber. If you want to get into business, get into accounting. Learn to audit, especially internal audit. And watch your career soar.

How well versed are you in Math? I look at an M.Fin. like a degree in applied math - it teaches you how to develop and use mathematical models. If you did well in math, and have a background that extends up to linear algebra or so, you'll do pretty well. If not, then you may want to go back and take a few more math courses before you begin. Of course, talking to the specific M.Fin. department that you are considering will give you better information than anyone could.
