  1. Hi Kefecz,

    It sounds like you’re not really switching sectors as such, but that you’re wondering if you can work in finance after you’ve just (?) graduated in International Business.

    Your actual degree, as long as it’s from a reputable university and you’ve obtained a good overall average should not be a hinderance.

    Most people I know that work in finance didn’t study finance, business or economics at universiy. The degree is just used to get your foot in the door. Once you’re in that’s when the real learning will start. You’ll also probably be required to undertake professional exams ACA CFA etc once you start working.

    So don’t get too hung up on your degree.

  2. my answer is this the best way to make acareer, move from international business to financial sector are to train as a professional ,and to acquire knowledge ,toobtain a certificate and that will guarantee to enter into the sector because with out agood qualification nothing willmove heor she to the system.
