Hi, I would suggest that you get in contact with your school's career counseling and placement center for they get job leads in all the time from their alumni's base. Get in contact with your alumni's networking group and send emails to them. Call them up and tell them you have a degree and that your are a fellow alumni and that you would like to work for their company or if they know of any other job leads out there.
I also think you should check out craigslist.org and place your resume in the resumes section of that site. You can end up with several hits on your resume and job leads.
Take a trip to your unemployment office if you can. They get really good leads in as well.

They will be competitive and you will need to find a way to distinguish yourself from the field. One possible idea might be doing a double major in finance and accounting. Both fields are closely related and it would give you a larger field for you when you graduate. Another possible double major would be finance and math. It would help you with finance and make you probably a stronger candidate. The jobs you can get are varied from banking, to insurance, and management. Really the career options are fairly limitless. My advice is simply no worry about the jobs being competitive and do your best. The more you work at your schooling and finding ways to distinguish yourself from the rest of the applicants the better off you will be.

Ask a good employment agency!

Just because you have a degree in finance, don't let that limit your job opportunties.
