Finance

I am totally rubbish with numbers, YOZILA readers, but I know there are loads of you out there who love them, and are fantastic at working with them as well! Finance is a massive industry, and is especially important just now with all the financial crises the banks are suffering!

Like lots of industries, there are just so many jobs in finance, from those working as office juniors to the high flying executives earning bucket loads of cash! Jobs in finance include:

Accountancy and Tax
Investment Banking (dealing with savings)
Insurance
Asset Management (which deals with people and their properties/assets)

Finance is a great industry to get into if you want to earn a lot of moolah (and let’s be honest, future bankers, who doesn’t!). Some jobs offer a STARTING salary of £35,000, with the opportunity for promotion! Sounds alright to me!

So how do you get into it? Well, for those most part you don’t need a specific degree, as long as you have a degree because you’ll get training. However, a lot of financial experts would recommend doing a specific degree, even though it’s not essential. Why not check out a few courses?
