jerbear Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Some of the certifications require a bachelors degree (e.g. CFA) besides that there are other required licenses. You might need a sponsor for some of those licenses. In the US a series 7 requires a sponsor which means you either work in the industry or have someone sponsor you before they hire you.
