A graduate degree in finance does not necessarily guarantee a high starting salary. Even if you have a CFA designation with years of experience, the median salary is probably still around $150K – 220K (adjusted for inflation based on statistics from a survey conducted three years ago.
In a salary survey conducted in 2003, the CFA Institute found that:
- The median yearly total compensation (including salary, bonuses and non-compensation) of investment management professionals is $130,500.
- The median compensation of investment management professionals with at least 10 years of experience was approximately $190,000.
- Investment professionals who hold a CFA charter and have more than 10 years experience earn an average of 21 percent more than non-charter holders with similar experience.
- Investment management professionals employed by mutual fund organizations typically earn 20% more than the median.
This is obviously not true for doctors or lawyers

It really depends on individual. Some attorneys and doctors with only
a few years of experience can earn more than one billion. So it is sth
about your luck, hard working and networking.

$150K – 220K really is not too bad in my opinion, well, for others, it totally depends on how aggressive you are.

The prerequisite is that the person has a CFA designation with years of experience though.
经济形势好的时候，finance专业的确是最赚钱的行业之一。
很强的。我是搞计算机的，SOSO的那种。刚学了两门会计课，觉得有点BORING。
其实每个行业都有自己辛苦的地方. Finance形势好的时候是不错，但工作不如律师和医生来得稳定．一旦经济形势不好便会大量裁员．所以选择行业最重要的还是要自己喜欢，适合自己．
agree
那你自己真实的兴趣呢？我认为纸业选择对一个人来书很重要，尤其是第一份职业。
