Remember, you asked for our two cents, so here it goes.

I have a degree too, and I work in industry. I'm a manufacturing technician in the petroleum industry in Houston, Texas. We actually produce things. We make things and we sell them. I've always been proud to work in industry, creating products, and not sitting at a desk shuffling papers and sending emails all day. Yes, I know a certain amount of paperwork is necessary to get work done and do business; I have to do some myself. Our secretary is just as valuable an employee as those of us who run machines. But the heart of our company is production, our parts, our output.

You have to choose between honest work, in other words, making or selling or fixing things, or teaching others how to use them, versus becoming part of the big dirty evil shell game played by big banks, finance companies, investment brokers, stock markets, etc. that just make money off of other people's money without ever contributing in any way to the advancement or well-being of their fellow man. In fact, they frequently do just the opposite: millions of lives have been ruined, jobs lost, houses foreclosed, marriages broken, savings vanished, and even whole countries submerged in misery and poverty, all by "finance".

So, I would suggest that you look for a small company that actually does something useful for society, and work for them. You will undoubtedly get paid less, the company ladder may resemble more closely a stepstool, but at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you are doing no harm to your fellow man. You might even do some good, and you might even bring someone into or back to the Faith.

God bless you and good luck to you.

God willing, I will be finishing my Master of Business Administration degree with a concentration in finance (not accounting) in December of this year, and I have been applying to jobs. What companies would you suggest I apply to?

Companies?  Dunno.  
All I have to offer is this:

Enjoy.

It's an unfortunate situation in this country for any Catholic man looking for an honest, fulfilling and good paying job. We've never been so far away from the days of the family artisans and craftsmen/ skilled workers. The financial power is in the hands of the Jєωιѕн bankers, and all successful companies had to fit the "corporate America" mold. Manufacturing of goods and products is almost all outsourced (from China or Taiwan). Consumers want instant gratification and goods are made to be thrown away instead of cared for and repaired. The blue collar laborers work the hardest and the most hours but receive the lowest salaries. For the other "white collar" jobs, they have made it a requirement to have a college degree. College itself is a corporate money making structure - a brand. There are entire majors focused on themes that have no concrete application. These graduates sometimes comes out of college and the best job they can find it to become a college professor and teach the same garbage they have been indoctrinated with. It's an endless cycle where money, lives, and souls and led to waste. Millenials are coming out of college with a lot of liberal brainwash and can't even think straight.

That being said, I think that the men who feel the most fulfilled in their jobs are the ones working in manufacturing, craftmanship, or working their own business. For intellectual type jobs, small law firms or accountants working outside of franchises seems best to me. If you must work for someone else, choose the smaller companies who have found a niche and have been around for more than 3-5 years. It's so hard to start a small business. You must have an online presence. 

With an MBA, no accounting, there are a lot of options, but difficult to establish yourself into a management position. The degree is a catch all. You may have to move close to a city and commute there. Friends of mine with MBAs are working for JP Morgan, Wells Fargo Advisors. They're happy enough. Those sort of positions are not my cup of tea. Maybe a sales manager position? Online retail? Find a warehouse and start a resale business - sell products through Amazon?
