I'm looking to get into the finance world. I don't have a degree or any relevant experience in finance, but I've been trying to learn during my free time. I work full-time and am married with a 3 year old daughter. I'd like to be able to increase my income to provide a more stable environment for my family. I want to give the best life to my daughter. Any ideas on how I can learn more or potentially get a degree in the finance realm? I'd appreciate any advice. Thank you.

You can start part time, get licensed and work with clients to add additional income while keeping your 9-5. It allows you the freedom to build your phase 2 without having to give up your bi-weekly

I would do research online finance concepts and topics. Become familiar with the language.

Run. Do not apply. You will be treated with absolutely no respect. You will be expected to do work off the clock. You won't be paid a living wage. Full time is 37.5 hours which they claim is work life balance but thats just so they can have you work Saturday without having to pay you any over time.

Though I am doing decent in this role, feeling out of place here. Could you please suggest some profiles in banking industry where I would be able to use my financial knowledge, analytical skills and learn something new.
