How can a guy with a Psych. Degree become a Financial/Business Analyst?
Asked by JoeGuitar
I just graduated in December 2006 from the University of Kentucky. My degree is in Psychology, but I have a passion for financial analysis and business developement. I was involved with a wonderful small business throughout college in which I was able to manage all of the financial/customer/business data and use it to help grow the company (a lot.) However, now that I am out of college and want to move into a sustainable career (i.e. support my family with pay and benefits,) I am finding it difficult to pursue my passion. My wife and I want to move to the Central Florida area (where we were engaged, honeymooned, etc.) I have applied for dozens of analyst jobs down there, but, as of yet, no bite. How does one "break into" this field?

Best Answer:
Most analyst positions require a degree in Accounting at minimum, and many want a CPA. Take classes in accounting and maybe you'll get closer to your goal.
