Financial services firms not high on Danish graduates' wishlist

The credit crunch hasn't affected Danish graduates' desire to work in financial services, but that's not to say it's a particularly popular industry.

Research firm Universum takes in responses from over 11,000 final and penultimate year students on the top 100 most attractive firms to work for.
