QUESTION 19 OF 30

How does your post-secondary education relate to a career in wealth management?

Nearly every high-end wealth management firm will require you to have a post-secondary degree related to finance. If your degree is not related to finance, be prepared to defend your educational background. Your formal education and industry training might be on your resume; however, the interviewer would like you to dig deeper and bring this education to life for them. Discuss how your education has prepared you for this job with Merrill Lynch.

"I earned my masters' degree in finance from ABC University. My degree exposed me to the financial world and specific topics such as bonds, econometrics, economics, corporate finance, governmental finance, individual investment, statistics, and portfolio management. I am grateful for my education and how well it has supported me in my career."

"I will never be finished when it comes to my education and learning. Although my degree is in business administration, and not specifically finance, my school did prepare me very well for a career in wealth management. I took courses in economics, finance, management, and marketing; all important facets of wealth management."
