Question : Will an investment managment firm hire recent grads and train them to become fincl advisors?
I have a b.a. in economics and little work experience. I want to submit my resume to a local investment firm located in a small city with the hope that they hire me and train me to become a financial advisor. Is this generally done or do small firms not train new hires to become financial advisors? Also, how much does one earn in the initial training stages?
financial investment firms

Your best bet is to go to Wachovia or UBS and see if an opening is available. Once they hire you they train you for you to pass an exam and get your SEC licence. I dont know how much someone starting makes because they mostly are based on the comisions the products offer (mutual funds, annuities, ect)
