I'm deciding to get my bachelors degree in either Finance or Information systems.. i'm not sure which road i should go on. Some of the classes are the same but of course finance has more finance classes and information systems has more computer classes. Either way i plan on getting an Mba after i get my bachelors.. the question is should i get my bachelors in Finance or information systems? Which major will get me a better job? Which major has a better pay? Thanks for looking.

Job/pay wise Information Systems is a better choice. Jobs for Finance are limited. Also you would need higher education for a better paying job in Finance. But in IS, you can get a good job straight-away. Assuming ofcourse that you get good grades and do your major from a good school. On the other hand, if you are a brilliant mind and can see a career in finance - you will have less competition when doing MBA. Also if you can crack a job at a hedge fund etc, the salary will be much more than what you will get in IS.

I majored in Finance and it was difficult to find a job. With half the jobs available in Finance you will need to prospect constantly, meet new people, and constantly try to sell Financial products to people. Information Systems is better if you just want to go to work and know what kinda work you'll be doing before you get there. I know with an MBA program in Finance most places want you to have at least 5 years of education first, for the accelerated programs. Best of luck! but, realize if you choose Finance you may wind up with a job where you have to meet new people every day and a lot of them are rude. So, if you aren't a huge people person you may want to do information systems.
