I want to know how is job market in US for finance graduates.?

Job market is always uncertain.  There's no way to know how any individual will do on the job market.  If they can communicate well, if they have a good attitude, and if they can present their skills in a way that employers see how it meets their needs, then there's opportunity.\n\nGenerally, though, a finance graduate will be able to find a job without too much difficulty.  However, the other question is if it is the type of job they want.  Many finance graduates take jobs as bank loan officers and make relatively low pay.  Many others take jobs with brokerage firms to work on commission, and end up quitting in a few months/years after they find that they can't make enough money.  Being a broker for a firm like that requires you to be a great salesman, too.  Your skills in finance will be much less important.\n\nSo, in the end, there are jobs, but there are no guarantees.  The really high paying jobs are hard to get.  But finance graduates are still in demand.\n\nOf course, a graduate degree in finance is MORE in demand.

If you mean future career wise, check here...\nOccupational Outlook Handbook (OOH), 2006-07 Edition\nhttp://www.bls.gov/oco/

One pretty good source in the United States is the Occupational Outlook handbook written by the government. It lists jobs, duties, salaries, education required, and projected job openings. Second, if you have money, the rule of thumb is 30-30-30: cash (30%), mutual funds/stocks (30%), and real estate (30%). Study the list of rich and famous people who didn't attend or graduate from college. I suspect the answer lies in passion, concentration, dedication, marketing, and working smart, not hard. Third, people are paying big money for any type of information, and also thru the internet. Last, find a need and fill it. Look at how many chicken or hamburger places there are.

Finance is the key to getting the top jobs, and advancing within them.  More CEOs come out of Finance than any other background.\n\nAccounting is tactical - you figure out what's in the numbers.  Finance is strategic - you plan how to grow the numbers.  Firms therefore put higher value on Finance.\n\nInfo Systems is a good field, but not if you want to get into Finance or Business Consulting.  The demand will be there in ten years, but lots of jobs here are moving to India and China - limiting opportunities in the US/Singapore/other wealthy nations.  Plus you'd have a tough time breaking into banking or business consulting if you're experience is only in Info Systems, and very few CEOs come out of IT.

Given that you've already been through three years of law school, I think the "best way" would enable you to spend the least amount of time in another program while maximizing your training in finance prior to entering the job market. Here are two ideas:\n\n1) Get a masters degree in financial engineering from a top program. UC Berkeley has a one year full-time program that my friend went through, and he found a very good job with the help of their active job placement office. Not only was it good for networking, but he learned a lot as well. There is another financial engineering program at Princeton which takes 1 or 2 years (I'm not sure). Doubtless there are others. The emphasis in these programs is on analysis rather than the softer side of business management. With your law degree, you probably already have the softer skills and arguably, you may already have good network connections.\n\n2) Earn the Chartered Financial Analyst designation (CFA). This is a difficult series of exams that gives you background in finance and signals to potential employers that you have the skills to work in finance -- both in terms of some substantive knowledge and analytical ability. The advantage is that with this option, you can self-study while maintaining your regular employment until you have the necessary training. Check out the website, www.cfainstitute.org for more information.

It depends on the Graduate Student and where they end up after  and how much their making. Here is a link to the Top 50 Business Schoool according to USNews.com

The field of finance is a huge field.  You could be anything from a payroll clerk or financial analyst to a finance department manager or even a CFO.\n\nIt mostly depends on what motivates you, what your own desires are and the decisions you make along the way.\n\nEntry level finance jobs could pay anywhere (shooting from the hip here) between $15 and $30 an hour, depending on the local job market.  CFO's can make $100,000 per year and up.\n\nGood luck to you.

It depends on your location.  That is a good question to ask the school you are going to be attending, they will know the local market and placement rates for their students.

I have noticed that there is a recent spike in demand for quants by investment banks and hedge and private equity firms. A doctorate in the finance discipline would definitely boost your chances of enhancing your qualifications. In any case, it would not have any downside at all except for your time and effort.

I have an Associate's degree in finance, but haven't gotten a single job offer in that field.  I have a great job in data entry, in which I have no formal training.  Does that answer your question?

It depends on where you live.  What skills you can bring.  How much money you are willing to spend.  Look at some of the sites attached the USAtoday link has a lot of good information for you to start your search.

It is very good for education, however job prospects are not so good. USA is the best!

The best undergraduate school in the Boston area for finance is The Sloan School at MIT.  Sloan is the #2 ranked undergraduate business school in the US (Behind Wharton and just ahead of Berkeley and Michigan).  The finance and economics departments at MIT are both ranked at or near the top of all finance and economics departments in the world.\n\nBoston College is a very good school.  The Carroll School is excellent even though MIT is superior.\n\nBabson would be another excellent choice on the undergraduate level.  Harvard does not have an undergraduate business school -- but they do have an excellent economics department.  \n\nYou can find tuition costs at their web sites -- but neither school is cheap.

Have you looked on Money Marketing's website, they have a special section for jobs and you can also place your CV on there.  Also check the Financial Adviser website as well.  Look for recruitment agencies who specialise in financial services and get your CVs to them.
