Best Answer:
With a financial management degree you can go into corporate finance, Investment management ,portfolio management, financial marketing,investment banking ,retail banking ,insurance and a host of other fields ,Let me assure you that if you are really good in that field and if you have a good management degree in that field there will be no shortage of work ever. But a DEGREE IS A MUST. you can never ever break into banking or high finance without a degree no matter how good you are. The other benefit of finance degree is that on an average you can go much higher in the corporate ladder than with just a mechanical degree .The reason is that in most companies they have a technical level and after the senior technical lever the management level starts. So even if you are good in say mechanical you will be forced to take a management degree at some point if you want to go up .so if you have one its a huge advantage. But then above and beyond all it depends on your aptitude.

If you have a degree - or any other qualification - then you'll already be in front of of the masses when it comes to looking for professions. My friend has a degree and he wasn't sure what direction to go with it, but he unearthed some good instruction on the site in the resource box below which aided him to decide that he wanted to be a lab assistant. There is lots of guidance on the site regarding other professions.
