Finance, general business administration, economics, marketing are some good choices. There isn't a specific major required to be a broker, although you need a college degree typically to get a job in a firm. Firms usually hire young people into training programs and give you lots of training. You also study and take a license test so you can sell securities.

A short Cheap answer would be Finance but I don't think that is the only question you're asking.  Please read on.\n\nWhat you want to be asking is what degree would be best if i chose not to get a job as a stockbroker.  I sold investments some time ago.  \n\nA point blank answer to your question is a degree in finance could be seen as more adapted to the understanding of compound interest and the potential of growth of certain trends in the movement of stocks in the short term.  Some investors work in a vacuum (short term trend trading) for which this type of degree may give more options for understanding the better investment options.\n\nAn economics major would me more suited to understanding why the market is moving and possibly predicting farther into the future.  An economics major learns about "how scarce resources are allocated".  It helps understand why people (and companies) act as they do.  \n\nWhen considering which would be a better degree for you think about what you're interested in.  A degree in finance would mostly be suited for business.  IMO an econ degree is more versatile although I must confess i am bias.  I'm not as familiar with a degree in finance.  \n\nI know a guy that was being hired by an economics firm to go study the trends of the flow of a river back in the east US.  Many other disciplines have adapted economic principles.  Econ is a degree of critical thinking and can apply in more areas.  \n\nhope this helps.

Study the art of stats & the stock market.

You can always get a job in the academic world being a teacher or sub, and can teach in college if you further your degree. Something besides that would be something along the lines of working and compiling statistics, research in math (disproving current theories, making your own theories, coming up with new ways to solve things, etc. but technically need a doctrate in math for that), or system analyst. I would think going into accounting would be pointless with your degree especially if you're smart and can a lot of things.

That question cannot be answered by anyone until they know what you need with a broker.\n\nDo you need service?\nAre you new to trading?\nWhat are you looking to invest in & how much at a time?\nDo you need research?\nAre you trading Penny Stocks?\nAre you trading ETF's?\nDo you know what an ETF is?\nAre options important?\nDo you need a DRIP program?\nWill you need mutual funds?\nDo you need access to foreign stocks, or are ADR's just fine?\n\nFigure out what you need & read financial publications. Check the web (and magazines) for survey's. Read more then two.\n\nGood luck!

you'll need a brokerage,,,,fidelity is my preference..then do some homework. why are you investing, how much can you invest, and how much risk can you tolerate......educate yourself before making decisions, or you'll end up paying for services or products you may not want or need

You need to find something that really interests you, not look for what makes you the most money. Take several courses in your freshman year that expose you to different subjects of interest. You don't have to declare a major (usually) until you are a junior in some schools.

Thats more of an finanical advisor, which I think you need a licence for. If everyone agrees to buy a stock, and your the one who just handles the account and does all the trades, thats fine.

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.

From my experience, finance career is more lucrative. If you are an MBA, take the investment banking path. It pays the most.

there are stock clubs located all over the country that you can get involved with as a newcomer.  meetings are held on a regular schedule, the group pools money and everybody is given certain companies in different sectors to do research in,  the groups usally vote in what they invest in, and all members share inthe profit/loss of the trades.  other than that take a basic class, start with mutual funds, and keep a few dollars to have fun with and buy stock you have done more than listen to the gossip about

Depends what kind of career in real estate.  Realtor, investor, developer etc.  In general, any business, economics, urban planning, law degree will do.

Depends where you're going to be employed. For instance, one with accounting degree will be lucky to work for an investment bank while the management graduate went to work for a not well-known insurance firm so he'd make less than the accountant in Morgan Stanley for example. It can go vice versa. All depends on your ambition, non-academic skills, networking, and then your major and grades. \n\nIn selecting your major, take the one you will most likely succeed at. If you are very good with numbers, accounting is for you. If you are very good conceptualist, go for the mgt. One is certainly overrides the other.

Learn how to pick stocks.  You need to swing trade.  You need around 10K to start.  And you can be a millonaire in 10 years.  Keep in mind, you need to learn how to pick stocks first.  You can double every 6 months if you do.\n\nAside from that, learn how to play basketball like MJ, or sing like Mick Jagger, or talk smut like Howard Stern, or have a family name like George W Bush.\n\nI say picking stocks correctly is your best bet.
