Thanks for the help guys, I'm considering moving to merchant services with Bank of America in the near future then taking on higher positions within that area after I graduate. I know everyone and their grandmother has business degrees. I do find being a financial analyst appealing however I can't help but assume that it's an office job with little people interaction. I do think I have a great personality and I am developing my sales skills which is why I'm leaning toward the business/merchant service side, I just want to know which direction will get me the most money
I realize this post was from like 9 months ago, but there's really very little money in commercial banking. It's a really dumb way to go, especially if you have good sales skills. If you enjoy selling and like working in a big corporate environment, you should beg / borrow / steal your way into commercial real estate. Even the morons at a place like CBRE make 150k a year after their first few years. The superstars make millions. Good luck doing that in commercial banking.
