Very true. Your first job isn't going to make or break you, but you'd be surprised how many new grads stumble into an industry and are still working in it 5 years down the road. I was a programmer at a brokerage firm out of college, and after recently getting out of the industry a few jobs later, it'll take a while before my resume is really attractive to non-finance gigs.
