What is the career of an investor like and what is the educational requirements for it? Ect.?

An investor starts with money, makes more money, and lives off a small slice of it. Now, if you want to manage someone's fund, that is different. Finance-type degrees will sometimes get your foot in the door, but then I know a market trader that works for a big brokerage who had a degree in music. As for the stock brokers, they take almost anything--you have to learn to talk the talk and sell, sell, sell. They don't really much care what your education as long as you pass a background check (to handle other people's money) and can get people to give you their money. It isn't very esoteric, lots of people who understand stocks and markets don't make it, and lots of people who hadn't a clue before the job interview do--the latter because they could sell.

By the way, one of my economics professors was an options trader. He said he took a really big pay cut to teach, but it brought him home more often for his family. He was one sharp cookie when it came to spotting trends and checking advantages. If you can do that, and watch a dozen things at once, you could probably do well, if you can sell your self in the interviews. It is a long line to get in.
