Question: Do you need to have a degree in business, finance or economics to be a stockbroker?
Answer: The FACT is that there is no particular education requirement. Successful stockbrokers have come from all backgrounds and walks of life, ranging from the high school drop-out to the Harvard M. B. A. One of the positives about our business is that the stock market is the great equalizer". Integrity and tenacity are far more important than where you came from or what school you went to.

Is this really the case? I am still a student studying in an unrelated field (engineering) however, seriously considering getting into this. If this is the case, what companies would be good to go after a summer intern, or even start a new career with. If this is not the case, what is the best route to go with in terms of education?

It sure helps to have a good background in finance to secure a good job. I have a biology degree with a minor in history and a separate degree in nuerology. The common denominator is that I have no education in finance, however
the guy who hired me knew that I had initiative. Just finish college with the highest GPA possible and you can get a job anywhere
