What A levels needed to be a stock broker

My sister who is in year 10 wants to be a stock broker she is good at mathsand loves to be a stock broker as she has a business head and enjoys dealing with numbers and fincancial things. How to become one what gcses are needed what a levels what degree in uni is needed to become one.

I would advise taking Maths and Further Maths, the other 2 options can be a range, just dont pick 2 'soft subjects'.

Thank you perhaps Chemistry and Biology she may pick.

At A Level she should choose Maths and 3 out of [Biology, Chemistry, Economics, English Literature, French, Further Maths, Geography, German, History, Physics, Religious Studies, Spanish].

It is essential to study traditional subjects (listed above) because it is a competitive business to get a job in, and these subjects provide you with the right skills for the workplace.

Stay away from soft subjects that universites/employers will avoid, including [Applied (any subject), Business, English Language, Health & Social Care, Home Economics, ICT, Media Studies, PE, Psychology, Sociology, etc]

At University good courses include Economics and Maths, but it is still possible to get a job with a Geography or Law or Physics degree etc, especially if it's from a good university (in particular Oxbridge, UCL, Imperial, LSE, Edinburgh, Warwick, Nottingham etc).

Good luck to your sister!

I asked this question for you to my brother who is in his 5th year of being a qualified stockbroker. He has worked in 3 different firms (central markets, Assendo & Guardian Brokers) and he stated that despite your sister's capability the sad truth is that her gender is what holds her back.

The finance industry is the most racist, sexist and conservative industry there is. Clients will refuse to take financial advice from a woman and as a result, they are almost never considered for the job by employers. My brother told me in his 5 years of going to the office he has never witnessed a female broker.
