This is an ideal career for analytical thinkers. A stockbroker is a professional who deals in financial market transactions, buying and selling stocks, bonds, and other securities for clients. Exchanges on the stock market must go through a stockbroker, since not just anyone can make a transaction. Your clients will be institutional, corporate, or private investors.
