Between those two options I would choose Financial Management bc it has a higher potential in the long run, BUT I can see Project management being easier to get your foot in the door bc companies are hesitant to leave anything involving finance (even analysis) up to anyone that isn't experienced in that field.
If it was me, Id go Finance and know I'm going to have to grind it out a bit before I get that position Im looking for.

Harry is spot on. Go financial if you want to be in accounting fields. I'm in engineering and Project management is very useful.

Project management has numerous non-engineering functions. New product development and launches, strategic footprint planning and execution, and a wide variety of other corporate functions.
Financial management is generally a higher paying career but may be more difficult to enter and advance but once in you may have more varied career opportunities

Project management would be my choice. But, that's just based on my interests. I know you'll end up making the choice that's best for you!

I don't know enough about either field or about your own strengths to give a helpful opinion. Somebody below talked about talking to a counselor. I think that's a great idea!

Why don't you talk to a department advisor at your university, and lay out all your goals and questions. They could probably help sort it out for you.

Currently, I don't, but I would like to work in one of those fields. Due to life stuff, I didn't get to go into something using my MBA when I first earned it, so this is hopefully a way to change that. I am not such which field is more in demand.

My current job title is student records analyst. Other institutions sometimes call it an evaluator. Basically I evaluate transcripts for transfer credit, for basis of admissions, etc.

I can tell you in my business, evaluation of efficiency require analysis of data, budgets and definitely cost analysis. My finance and economic back ground helps with these areas. I have had to hire a couple of specialist in project management to help me understand the language and structure of these groups within the companies who hire us. It gives us a common conduct for the flow of information. Probably why I envy those with project management expertise.

My undergrad degrees are in finance and business economics. Now I focus on process efficiencies for service companies. I wish I had more project management technical training. I would recommend that, but really depends on where you want to take it.

With your degree and experience, I would aim for financial program. Predictive analytics will be huge in the years to come. Big data analyzes are just in their infancy.

When I earned the degree, my plan was to be a budget/cost analyst, because I only needed the MBA. I did 18 hours of MIS to teach at the college level. I would love to get my PMC in data analytics, but that isn't one of my free options.
