how much do stock brokers make typically?

also what do you have to be good in, in order to be one?

i know that all you have to have is a high school education and your eligible.

1. You have to be good at sales.

2. Not an easy question to answer. It ranges from the low end to a nice high end. It depends on if you work for an investing firm, a bank or other organization that offers investing services as a complimentary service, or if you go out on your own. Most importantly, you have to have good selling skills, gain a reputation and of course you have to have the ability to make people money on the market.

3. They dont get paid an hourly rate. They work on commission( maybe the ones working inside banks get a salary) and that is why they are constantly telling you to buy and sell. I personally have never met a stock broker that did not have at least a 4 year degree in something. I also never met a stock broker that didnt like to trade. I've done better doing my own research and trading online with discount brokers.
