Jobs for physics and math graduates interested in finance

[martizzle]

I just grad with a BS in phy&math...but I'm having difficulty finding a job...I would prefer to get into finance/accounting (I want to go to grad skool nxt yr/ltr for a PhD in Statistics/a Masters in Computational Finance/Financial Math), but at this point, I just want a job...
Ps.
I'm in Philadelphia, PA (if that helps :)

If you're asking why jobs you can get after you all ready have a degree you're in some trouble. No job hunting before you graduated?

@ least d job part is...bt yeah, i did job hunt b4 grad, n I'm doing a summer internship now, but I've diff finding something 4 after...

If you have any facility in statistics there are almost always industrial jobs involving stats. This can be fairly terrible work, basically a grind, but it can pay very well. If you are planning on moving on later, perhaps this is just the ticket.

However, given the recent implosion of the financial sector, I imagine physicists in finance (quants) are probably not the most sought after at the moment.
