Finance is an exciting field that is both lucrative and worthwhile. There are many jobs to choose from that allow someone variety and a competitive career. Of the many areas that offer great options two jobs seem like a great fit. The first is investment banker and the second is real estate developers/brokers. These jobs are competitive and offer the opportunity for growth and stability in today’s market.
Investment bankers are individuals working within a financial institution that chiefly raises capital for other businesses, organizations, governments, or who works in an investment bank (Rosenbaum & Pearl, 2013). While investment bankers deal with money, they also help companies by giving advice on mergers and acquisitions or reorganizations, and spin-offs. The biggest investment banks like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase employ investment bankers and they help in big, complex financial transactions.
Investment bankers can assess company worth. They also know how to structure a deal for mergers, sales, or acquisitions (Rosenbaum & Pearl, 2013).

The second option, real estate developer/broker is a complex job but is easier to get into than investment banking. Real estate brokers help sell and buy homes (Glickman, 2014). Before someone can become a real estate broker, they need to spend one to three years as a real estate agent. They take a commission and they can work depending on how much effort they want to put in each month. There is not much in terms of education needed to be a real estate broker and with enough investment capital, real estate brokers can become real estate developers.

Real Estate Industry Analysis The residential real estate industry has been surprisingly resilient in light of the current economic situation. Over the previous two years residential real estate purchases registered into the double digits, while these numbers are down, the market for real estate is anything but out. At a glance, it would appear that realtors do not even know that a recession exists as new properties are springing up from
Based on past cycles of real estate market fluctuations, many analysts expect the real estate market to decline further before it rebounds again.
