The professional stock broker, the guy who hussles shares of a company, is someone who makes good money – if you trust the stock broker salary data just released.Here’s what the gov’t said about the stock broker career in May 2010:
The median annual wage-and-salary wages of securities, commodities, and financial services sales agents were $68,680 in May 2008. The middle half earned between $40,480 and $122,270.
Competition for jobs will continue to be keen with more applicants than available openings.
Addtionally, the recent financial crisis has resulted in mass consolidation in the financial industry, a scenario that will likely result in fewer positions as companies attempt to streamline operations by eliminating duplicate tasks.
So, the pay is reasonable, but the jobs are disappearing…
Glassdoor says you can get jobs that pay from $34,000 up to $120,000/year or more. New York is a good place to get a job…it’s dog eat dog, but there’s stock broker jobs.
