Finance relates to the services involved in financial and investment planning, banking, insurance, and business financial management. The finance and insurance industry is all about managing money and making financial transactions—from a child’s first savings account to multimillion-dollar corporate loans.

IS A CAREER IN FINANCE FOR ME?​

• Most careers in this cluster require the skills to work meticulously with documents and policies, maintain records, and interpret government regulations and laws. Individuals may be liable if an action does not meet compliance.

• The finance and insurance industry typically has a more formal dress code than many other industries. Employees’ appearance contributes to a company’s impression as being trustworthy, upright, and reliable.

• Work schedules typically follow a routine 9-to-5, but work hours may extend for those who work for clients or need to be available when opportunity strikes.

• When it comes to managing investments, your co-workers are often your competitors; if you don’t capitalize on an opportunity, they might.
