Alicia A asked:


I have been a stay at home mom for the last five years and am looking to work part time. My previous work history is short and both companies have gone bankrupt after I left. One is a new hotel and has the same phone number. The other was a chain retail store and I can’t even find the phone number it used to have. Does this look really bad on an application?

siubak asked:


I have a MBA degree and concentration in finance, looking for an entry level financial analyst position in the corporate finance area. What are the important skills normally required? I have a feeling that what I’ve learned from school does not match what are wanted in real world. So what skills are really expected from an entry-level financial analyst?

shysteepinoy01 asked:


I am thinking about going back to school to get a BS in Business Administration.

I would like to know what the difference is in careers in Finance and Accounting. Has anyone had a career in either field? What I want to know is:

What did you think of your career?

What did you do all day in Finance or Accounting?

Did you find it exciting or really boring?

For a career as a Financial Planner or Financial Advisor, do you work off of commision only?

Any information would be very helpful. Thanks.

Jenny S asked:


I am an Industrial engineer and want to make a move to Corporate Finance, one of the questions I get most often is why do I want to make such a career change and how I see myself fit into this role ? or justify how you can do well in Corporate Finance role despite your non finance background?
I am currently enrolled in a full time MBA program and planning to take finance courses but I want to know how I can really sell myself on this idea ?

hottiecj *~♥~*~♥~* asked:


And what exactly would it be called and how do I go about doing it? I want to be able to teach personal Finance. Home Budgeting, basic estate planning and basic investing. What is this and do I need a degree to do it? If so, in what?

Please help! Managing money is my only talent, and I have a passion for teaching it to others. How can I translate this into a career for myself?
P.S. I’m a stay-at-home mom, we own or own home, and are raising 4 kids with no government assistance on my husband’s $34,000 a year. I’ve been told I have a flair for managing money. ;p
