Financial Advisor Jacob B
A **// Financial //****// Advisor //** is someone who advises (hence the name) someone to change the way that they use their money so they can save it and begin to profit in the future. They also look at The Stock Market and meet with many different people. They usually work from around 9:30 A.M. to around 6:00 P.M. One of the many reasons I wish to be a Financial Advisor is because my dad does it for a living. They spend many hours a week on the phone or computer. Math can and will be used in this job and is used frequently and expertly. That’s why math courses in college are most often taken. Major banking companies such as Chase, Metro bank, Wachovia and Wells Fargo will often give an Advisor an office to use math in, despite the fact that the Advisor doesn’t work for them. An Advisor sometimes is in charge of a lot with a building in it. This means that they decide what to do with it. Events such as investing, hiring, firing, merging and takeovers are carefully looked over by an Advisor and they use math to see the pros and cons. Most Financial Advisors have a college degree in business, accounting, statistics, or finance. A master's degree in business administration is widely used. Math, computer, and problem-solving skills are vital.Working with clients requires good people skills. Confidence, maturity, and the ability to work on your own are important, too. Analysts also need good communication skills to explain complex financial ideas using simple words. To sum it up, a Financial Advisor is a job that requires a lot of skill, especially in math, that pays well but can be hard and frustrating. Bibliographies: Sanchez, Loretta.
