a general understanding of commodity trading, portfolio management and economic trends would seem to be in order. Most jobs require at least a B.S. Most of the jobs I saw were looking for someone that had 5 years experience or an advance degree (Financial Engineering was hot last year).\n\nFXGame - Currency Trading Game might be a way to test some of your knowledge and skills without risking any cash.

Not much.  A high school diploma and some cash handling experience are most helpful, as well as good communication skills.

I would highly recommend that you work for a few years before pursuing a graduate degree like an MBA.  You'll get a much better feel for the areas in which you'd like to work, plus the real world experience is invaluable when you're studying theory in school.  In the financial areas, such as investment and banking, an MBA would be almost mandatory to obtain a good career position.

CHECK OUT BELOW TO BECOME STOCK BROKER :\n\n- A stockbroker invests in the stock market for individuals or corporations. Only members of the stock exchange can conduct transactions, so whenever individuals or corporations want to buy or sell stocks they must go through a brokerage house. Stockbrokers often advise and counsel their clients on appropriate investments. Brokers explain the workings of the stock exchange to their clients and gather information from them about their needs and financial ability, and then determine the best investments for them. The broker then sends the order out to the floor of the securities exchange by computer or by phone. When the transaction has been made, the broker supplies the client with the price. The buyer pays for the stock and the broker transfers the title of the stock to the client and performs clearing and settlement procedures. The beginning stockbroker’s first priority is learning the market. One broker said, “First you have to decide whether you have an interest in the stock market. This will determine how well you’ll do. If you’re just interested in making money you won’t get very far.” Stockbrokers spend their time in a fast-paced office, usually working from nine to five, unless they are just starting out or have to meet with clients. The new broker spends many hours on the phone building up a client base. Sometimes brokers teach financial education classes to expose themselves to potential investors who may then become their clients.\n\n- A college degree is not required, but most brokers have one. Brokers have to be licensed. A license is obtained by passing the General Securities Registered Representative Examination and, in many cases, posting a bond. Individuals may take this test after they have been employed by a brokerage firm for four months. Firms use these four months as an on-the-job training period to prepare their workers for the test. Many states also require the candidate to take the Uniform Securities Agents State Law Examination. These tests are designed to ensure the candidate’s knowledge of all aspects of the stock market. After passing these tests, an individual is considered a trainee. While working full time, he takes classes and trains for up to two years. Employees are expected to take training courses throughout their careers to keep abreast of developments in the field. Those with prior work experience have the greatest opportunities for becoming a stock broker. Few people become brokers straight out of college. Most employers seek applicants who have already succeeded in other fields, such as insurance sales. If you know your interests lie in the market, study economics, finances, computers, and business management in college. Many employers view ambition as the most important quality a candidate can possess.\n\n- The sales aspects and the need to build up a client base are similar for stock brokers and insurance and real estate agents. Financial planners create and execute financial plans for people or businesses. They ascertain their clients’ needs, resources and goals and use this information to draw up a financial plan that suits the individual or the company. Traders are the people you see in the movies yelling on the chaotic floor of the stock exchange. They perform the actual exchanges. \n\n- All the best.\n--------------

not too sure if I shoud share the knowledge ;-)) but what the hell ;-)) \n\nUnless you have one magic wish it can happen overnight... \n\nBut otherwise it is a way of about 10-12 years starting from the bottom... \nYou need to get a degree preferably (as market shows) in fine arts, and another MBA. \nThan you need experience about 7-8 years on some senior level. And then you have a chance to get a job as CEO in some good company. \nThis knowledge is based on reading through current executive jobs offers, and analysing information. \n\n(I am half way there ;-)) \n\nGOOD LUCK\n\nand see you at the TOP

Depends which field.  Generally, they'll skim over your work XP unless you have something fantasic that's a very good fit.\n\nFor analyst type positions, the most important thing is probably how well you can think on your feet.  They'll grill you for the whole day with brain teasers, finance questions (if you majored in econ/finance), statistics, probability, algorithms, and other similar things.  You obviously don't have to get them all right, but your general pattern of thinking and coming to the right solution is important.\n\nTraders are probably more personality fit since that's an important part.  Sales is more talking.  There are tons of entry level positions at GS.

By referral is the best.  If not, set up appointments and interview them and ask about their investment strategies and ethical standings.\n\nBut before any of this, read Investment for Dummies to bring yourself up to speed on investments.  You have to know the minimum before investing.
