    It is not in your list but I would research the "Irish Miracle" essentially the effect tax cuts have on the overall economy.
    Of the above listed topics I would choose Financial Planning. I would then research the effects of the baby boomers starting to convert securities into liquid assets effect on the stock market as well as bond market over the next 20 years.
    It is something I am certainly keeping my eye on.

    I hate to say this, but I think there is a lot of math.

    I think on your 1st year, you would take the basic math classes that every business student takes (Calculus with business applications). After that in sophomore year, you would have to take a few accounting classes. These Accounting classes have lots of math (especially word problems). After that you take finance class. I think you still have to do math in those classes (this one I'm not sure).

    So I guess you have lots and lots of math. The math is not too bad. It is not like engineering math. It is just simple math.

    I am a accounting student so most of my classes are with finance people.

    Human beings have advanced so much. What’s to say that we cannot do it in future.

    Sure we could have another 10-50 years of hardship but mankind will rise again. No one can take away, as far as I can see, the techonological gains we have made and we will build on that.

    Mankind will live better in 100 years than they do now.

    As you probably already know, you should be studying for the Series 7 licensing exam. After that, the Series 63 and 65 (or combined Series 66 license if your State allows it).

    Although these exams will prove you know what types of products to match clients with, you will not obtain the type of real financial planning knowledge you need for the profession.

    Take courses to complete the CFP educational requirement. The American College has a program where you can take all 6 courses in about 7 months – if you have the time to study! Realistically, allow yourself a year or more. They are a great College and the credits you earn are transferable to your current university.

    Check it out at theamericancollege.edu.

  • stockmarketwiz21 Says:

    Try any of the large life insurance companies. They will hire you right out of school with little or no earnings for the first few years, but they will train you. You could also try brokerage houses, banks, all of them are cross selling financial products. Good luck!

    Niall is a great intellect. I really appreciate his work. I just purchase the “Ascent of Money.” I’m looking forware to getting started with it.

  • corpo Says:

    You don’t agree with modern economic thought? Great. What exactly don’t you agree with and why? Maybe you have a unique idea of your own that we can all benefit from. However, until you learn how to express yourself on a point by point basis few will listen to what you have to say. Your sweeping generalizations about academic elite do absolutely nothing to change public perception.

    Its real easy to sit behind a computer and flame. Its also real cowardly.

    Sounds like you have all the qualities to be a successful counselor in financial matters, but not the personality of a salesperson. Have you ever thought about teaching at a local community college, or working for a credit counseling place?

    as you probably know, sales is king in financial services.
