If you enjoy telling people what to do with their money, financial advising may be your dream job. Financial advisors often work for investment banks, insurance and mutual fund companies, pension funds, and securities firms. Much of the day is spent reviewing financial earning statements, gauging the performance, health, and value of potential investments, and doing research to create sound financial plans for clients. Financial examiners often work for finance and insurance industries and federal and state governments. They must be detail-oriented and able to review large volumes of documents. Examiners may travel to investigate activities of a company and to enforce laws and regulations.
