 | Like as a portfolio analyst or something with a wealth management company. I was applying to jobs in financial services but now I'm thinking about taking more classes part-time. I guess I am feeling a little lazy or like I don't know what I want to do. Would it be good to do a masters in applied math even if I don't know how it would help me?

| I have just received my bachelors degree and have so far only had small side jobs. When I'm looking online now, I don't even know where to start. I know that I would most likely be starting off low, but I am looking for an industry that would be cool to work in with increasing opportunities in the years to come. Does anyone have any advice for that?

 | The more complex your job is and more highly educated / paid you are, the more specialization there is.
Thus if the local bank hires a new credit analyst, and the local insurance company hires a new fixed income securities analyst, and the local hedge fund hires a new portfolio analyst, and the local retail firm and the local health insurance company each hired a business analyst, these analysts all might be classified differently.
But if two of the five firms hired a new janitor, they're both janitors.
In this example is it accurate to say that the fastest growing job category was janitor?
There is far less specialization at the lowest levels and far more at the upper levels and this is addressed only to a limited extent when the Census Bureau ranks job growth - thus the "fastest growing jobs" will almost always be at the bottom even if most of the job growth is at higher income levels.
outcrop again, yes some jobs go to foreigners - like tailors - but we have 4.6?nemployment, so it's NOT "most" jobs.
Beren, it's an example. Job specialization grows the higher up the pay scale you get, and this is addressed only minimally by the Census Bureau in calculating the fastest growing job category. The point is that because of specialization being much greater the higher up you go, it will almost ALWAYS be the case that "the fastest growing job title" will be at the bottom end, even if the total job growth at the bottom is less than that at the middle or top.

| Does anyone have any experience or know how their friends have done this?
I probably will need to do a couple of events for some friends or something to build a portfolio, right? I am not interested in spending $2000 on an event planning course/ certification.

 | And just out of school?
Wouldn't a company rather hire someone with experience so they can verify that they actually know how to program well? Would this mean that someone just out of school would need a portfolio of their projects? What if they have none worth showing?
So many questions!
I'm referring specifically to software engineering positions that require actually having to program.

 | I am currently doing entry-level finance-related accounting work in NYC, but do not hold a degree in Accounting (just your standard BA from your local not-nationally-recognized college with a lot of finance classload). I really want to get into more of a research analyst position, or something more to do with the management of securities for some type of fund. How do I get my foot in the door?

 | I have an interview for an Asset Analyst position with a fixed income administrative services company. I'm not sure what type of questions to expect, as this will be my first time interviewing for this type of position. I graduated college about 3 1/2 years ago, but I've mostly been working temp jobs since then. I've worked at an investment management company (but in the call center) for about 6 months and I've worked at a bank lock box processing center for 2 1/2 years (both temp assignments). I was actually surprised when the company called me for this interview because 1) I actually applied for a Data Analyst position, but they said they want me to interview for Asset Analyst instead and 2) because I don't have prior experience in that position. What should I expect in my interview??

| I know that CFP is certified financial planner, and CFA is certified financial analyst, but these two licenses seem so similar to me, that I can't decide which one to pursue. What are the pros and cons to each of these? What are the requirements for attaining each of them? Also, for those of you who know the nature of the work of financial analysts and financial planners, could you please describe what their daily work responsibilities are? Is a job as an analyst simpler because you're just analyzing, instead of planning? If you know any additional factors to both these jobs, please let me know.

 | I was just notified this week that I was accepted to Indiana University-Bloomington as a finance major and I'm curious on what the best road is to become trader.
I'm assuming I should go into the investment area of finance but then what? Is getting an internship hard? Should I be trading and investing with my own portfolio during my college career to show that I'm interested in the financial markets to possible future employers?
Also, how competitive is it to get a gig somewhere? Is finding a job as a trader as competitive as trying to get into investment banking? Wheres the most likely place for me to get a job at? Do hedge funds recruit from college campuses even or will I have to go on my own to try and find a job? Are titles such as "derivatives analyst" and "financial analyst" just fancy ways of saying trader or are they something different?
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could answer all of these questions and add anything if they must
