I'm taking a basic finance class in college as a requirement and I have to give a 2 min powerpoint presentation on what I would do with a finance degree. Unfortunately, I have little interest in the subject matter so I'll just have to make up something.

What career would be easy to research and talk about without containing too many complicated, confusing terms and technical jargon?
 
Commercial Bankers (Commercial Loan Officers) -- Bankers perform financial analyses for their prospects and clients. They have to determine whether the risk they are taking in loaning the money to their clients will be properly compensated in terms of risk, "payback period," Net Present Value, etc.

Securities Analyst/Trader -- When securities firms buy or sell other people's debts, they must determine the Net Present Value (NPV), annuities, etc.

I know you're not interested in Finance, but the point of Finance (in a nutshell) is to figure out how much you're willing to pay NOW for a future return. Those two careers should be easy to research.

Good luck!
