What is the best major if I wanted to be a stock broker or trading? Economics, finance, or something else?

Question

I know economics and finance go hand and hand. I would like to do the occupations I said above. I heard both are good, but I'm not really sure what to pick. Other careers I would like to do is perhaps budgeting(down the line when I want to do something that is less hectic). Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Both would be good. If you major in finance, be sure to take some extra economics classes. If you major in economics, try to take a few finance classes -- including the Investments class.

Answer 2

This penny stock service has years of proven experience. Ultimately it is the best service for beginners to use https://tr.im/MzrjC
You will have to wait between 3 and 10 days to get into the system in most cases. When I signed up it took 8 days. I wished it was faster, but if you can wait a week or two to start earn life changing money than you will have what it takes to make it in this business.

Answer 3

hey now universities are very flexible. Why you don't consider to take 2 majors. I am taking accounting and finance and honestly speaking they said I'm quite flexible. I can work as stock broker and also in budgeting.

But remember to take your professional degree after u finished ur undergraduate level. CFA or CPA will be good!

Answer 4

both would be fine, but the main thing a brokerage firm will want to know about you is if you can sell. they don't care if you know the market inside/out, all they want is the commissions. if you are going to be an independent trader, neither matters because you will be working for yourself. i would, however, take all the courses you can in psychology (especially in the psychology of crowds/crowd behavior). courses in statistics / mathematics will also help.

Answer 5

You are aware stock brokers are now computers, right?
