I want to start a carrer in the stock market, gradually do my MBA and then start a business and probably an investment company myself. What will be the best way to go about doing this? It is of course that we have to suffer so that you can join me in the whole company of investment securities broking /?

   I have a BS in Finance. You need to get your Bachs degree from a good univ, then an MBA from a prestigious institution (Harvard, etc). I had a guest prof in a couple of my Investment Analysis class, and both said the same thing.

   Study business and finance. Learn mathematics and statistics. Get some annual reports and study the financial data in them.

   go to Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics Web Site
   click on the link that takes you to the O.O.H. , which stands for the Occupational Outlook Handbook. There you will find thousands of careers listed and a thorough explanation of each job. This is a Very reliable website for accurate information. I went there myself and read about becoming an Actuary. I then checked out a Book called The Jobs Rated Almanac and I went to Career Journals.com and both the Almanac and Career Journals confirmed that the Bureau of Labor’s Website was right on.

   This really depends on were you are in life. If you’re 7 years old, then the path would be different than if you’re 70. Presuming you’re in undergrad, the easiest path would be to pursue a finance/economics major (Depending on your degree options). Attempt to study for, take, and pass the CFA 1 as a Junior and the CFA 2 as a Senior. There are scholarships available for undergrads taking the CFA. Presuming you pass the first two parts, you shouldn’t have any trouble landing, preparing for, and acing an interview with Goldman Sachs. You can pass part 3 during your first or second year at GS. Spend a couple of years with them in banking, then apply to Harvard Business School. Graduate from school, get a job with a hedge fund or large investment firm, spend a few years learning how to consistently outperform the market, and hopefully you can convince someone to invest $10mn in your new fund.

   This sounds trite and slightly cynical, but it’s a pretty proven path.
