Very much. In fact after the US and global financial turmoil there is increasing demand for genuin finance professional rather than mere (fin) degree holders. However one must note the fact that, now days the MNC FI/banks prefer engineering grads for the financial positions over commerce grads.

Sarvashri Muralidharan, Srinivas and Robert are right. Opportunities are plenty. Only MBA is not sufficient. Other skills are required. You need to be good in Accounts, Balance Sheets, Projections, Legal particularly Companies Act, Payment of Wages Act, Income Tax, Service Tax, Banking (Making projections, convincing the banker) are all required. It can be gained through dedicated and hard work over a period of time. Set a time limit of 5 years. Where I want to be after 5 years and work towards that goal. Review every year and check whether you are nearing the goal. If not change the course of action. Good Luck to you. May God bless you.

Opportunities are aplenty! Its for individuals to discern whether they are able to fit into the requirements. As Mr. Srinivas and Mr. Robert Bernardos's suggestions, acquiring required skills are essential to get inducted in good corporate for long-term association. You may go for civil services exam, especially, Indian Economic Service, Indian Audit & Accounts Services, Indian Defence Accounts Service, etc. You may also try internships from the national institutions, such, as National Institute of Public Finance and Policy, Centre for Monitoring of Indian Economics, Indian Council for Research in International Economic Relations, Asian Development Bank, World Bank, UNIDO, etc.

finance field have very good and more opportunities then any other field. you have to choose your career in which speciality. one can choose, accounting, taxation, budgeting, costing, mergers and acquisition, mutual funds, banking, insurance, functional consultant in it companies etc.. its go like that. other fields do not offer such wide variety. your perception is wrong. As diya said there may be few vacancies more people or there might be lack of right person for right job hence people may find it difficult to get the job. select the area, develop core knowledge and skills, definitely you can bag a better job any time.

It is not availability of right person for right job which is root of this impression of shortage of job at one side and shortage of man power on other side .

No, one of the feild where all qualified & non qualified get absorbed. Finance as a feild has taken over the entire operations in their domain wether technical or non technical, by having qualification in finance the opprtunities are endless.

Not at all. Finance is one of the driving service sections in our economy. It requires a large amount of versatile skills in order to correctly estimate values and risks. Too conservative and economy suffers. Too much laxity and both the borrower suffers and also inflation increases. Finance is a delicate job but the field has tremendous opportunities. It was the wrong use of these opportunities (derivatives) that caused the housing scam in the USA, and some of the mutual fund failures at home.
