What options should I take for "A levels" if I want a career in "Finance and Management"?

I want a career in finance and management too. I picked: business, maths, sociology (not my 1st choice) and psychology. \n\nBusiness studies obviously.\nMaths would be excellent if you are good at. It is sometimes essiential at top universities to study finance.\nIf you are interested in English that would be good. But i think other than business and maths any other subjects are fine excluding stuff like art, drama as its not entirely academic.

There is no Official ranking among Australian Universities ... but this site provides one - http://www.australian-universities.com/rankings/\n\nu might search the top three and i m sure they all offer Finance Degrees .. Try to search those uni's website and see if u could speak with their admissions rep and get more info on their Finance Program .. \n\nscheduling a visit and talking to current students, is another way to find about more abt a Uni.. \n\nHope it Helps :)

All MBA's are expected to have some level of understanding in Finance.  Also, finance is important in almost all businesses and trade.  I recommend taking a lot of finance classes.

Go back to college and do your GCSE's. If it's what you really want the option is there for you!

Do the subjects you are best at, and that you enjoy.  That way you'll get better results and have a better time studying.\n\nYour choice of A level subjects doesn't need to affect your choice of career.  I did Maths, F Maths and Physics and ended up as a writer.

Your question does not appear to be complete. Still, i suggest you to select Maths or Eco. depending upon your competancy and liking in either of these subjects.\nI presume that u want to go for MBA after that. So either of these would be useful. Maths remains the basis for getting into a good college besides most of the courses would become easy for a student with Mathematics background. Similary, eco students are also well placed during MBA.

There are many different kinds of accountant.  If you are reasonably numerate (top 75 percentile) and logical/methodical in your approach to problem solving it isn't difficult at all.\n\nThe hard part is maintaining interest in your studies, as some segments of the qualifications can be very dull.\n\nThere are many different types of accountancy work.  Management accounting, financial accounting, bursarial work, advisory, forensic, audit.... the list goes on.  \n\nIt is a good career path, and if you take a good combination course, with a management element you may well be able to move into other work.  Most senior officers in local government and Chief Executives started their careers in accountancy.\n\nIf you are seriously considering a post graduate course in accountancy the main options are:\n\nCIMA - Chartered Institute of Management Accountants - good generic course with strong management element, liked by business and local government.\nhttp://www.cimaglobal.com/cps/rde/xchg/live/root.xsl/index.htm\nCIPFA - Chartered Institute of Public Finance Accountants - again good management element, but predominantly for those wanting a career in local government.\nhttp://www.cipfa.org.uk/\nACCA - Association of Chartered Certified Accountants - generally preferred option for practice accountants\nhttp://uk.accaglobal.com/\n\nYou could enter the career by working for one of the 'big four', KPMG, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and Ernst&Young.  Or any number of other firms, or you could apply for a trainee post within local government.  You should expect to take three or four years to qualify, but the financial rewards are high.\n\nBefore you leap into the career wholeheartedly, why don't you try getting a Summer job in an accounts office, or ask local firms/councils for some work experience to give you an idea of what's involved.\n\nPersonally I drifted into finance by accident, I've spent 10 years advising non-financial managers on all aspects of financial rules and regulations and the customer facing aspects of the job gave me great satisfaction.  I've done some audit/forensic accounting, which is brilliant if you like problem solving and puzzles.  Now I'm using that experience in a general management position.\n\nGood luck, whatever you decide to do....just remember that there's more to life than work.  After all I'm 34 and I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up!!

You definitely ought to look into some accounting or bookkeeping classes. You can make a great career of it, but there's much to learn. Good luck!

You could try a professional certificate in Management / Business Administration, or if time and money permit, a MBA.\nI would personally opt for a MBA program, as this will give you a very good insight on Business and Management, and will certainly open many doors for you career-wise. I have no idea where you live, but most serious, accredited universities offer flexible schedule MBAs so you can keep on working while studying. Just make sure you check out the university's accreditations, there are way too many scams nowadays especially from online-based universities.

If I were you, I would first get a BS in a technical area, such as an engineering discipline.  Then get a MBA in finance.\n\nThat's basically what I'm doing.  I already have a BS in ChemE and will eventually go back to school to get my MBA in finance.\n\nI know some that went straight to business school and are doing great, but I do know that those with technical backgrounds on top of business degrees are VERY desirable.\n\nGood luck!

Lots of different ways . . .\n\no  As already suggested, get a job in sales at a brokerage firm and get your Series 7\n\no  Check out financial advisory firms if giving personal advice is more your preference than sales\n\no  Check out bank trust departments -- lots of potential jobs from sales to advisory to portfolio management (fixed income as well as equities).  A good place to get some hands on investment experience.\n\no  Financial subs of major companies.  Jobs might involve raising funds via sale of short-term debt, cash management, equity and debt financing, etc.\n\no  Check out major financial firms (primarily in NYC) that are involved in merger and acquisition activities (e.g., Morgan Stanley).  If you're really, really good and willing to commit your life to your job, you can make a lot of bucks in this area.\n\nThese are just a few of the alternatives.  Also, keep in mind that you should be willing to take most any job to get your foot in the door.  If you have the educational background, are really smart, have a lot of initiative, and show an affinity for the investment business, you can advance very rapidly.  True invest pros have no (I repeat NO) tolerance for incompetence or lack of drive, but will overwhelm you with opportunity to be successful if you "show the right stuff."  The investment field is not a good choice for the average person or the timid.\n\nBy the way, your engineering degree implies strong quantitative abilities.  This gives you a leg up on your competition and is something of substantial value in the investment arena.
