Careers in Financial Services
Reducing debt, saving for a child’s college education, investing for retirement, estate planning, these are the kinds of finance issues that ordinary people face every day. For help, they often turn to professionals with a degree in financial services — including financial planners, insurance agents, stockbrokers, real estate brokers, trust officers, and loan officers. Students with degrees in financial services find rewarding positions with banks and credit unions, brokerage and investment firms, real estate sales and appraisal firms, and personal financial planning firms.
