I just graduated with a degree in finance, why would I want to get involved with Sales?

Particularly, you might want to get involved with sales of financial services. It's like majoring in accounting and working at a bank. It's in order to build up experience and understanding of the industry. Financial services sales reps have to know the in and out of what a bank/financial company offers. It's a great way to start in the industry and will help you work your way into financial planning or brokerage, depending on what you want to do with the degree. Best of luck and congrats on accomplishing this.

What do you think your degree qualifies you to do?

Finance degrees are the breeding ground for stock brokers, loan officers and other security/financial sales forces.
