If given the option, would you prefer being a financial adviser for an international company or a trader at a small investment bank?
And why?
Definitely a trader. Your success depends solely on you making profitible trades for the company. As a trader you learn valuable skills that can translate to other tings (hedge fund, mutual find management, CFA, etc.). The guy at PhiBro is set to get $100 million for last year's trading, assuming Obama and Pelosi don't screw him over. So, it can be quite a good career path. You also need balls of steel when you are trading tens of millions of dollars several times a day, every day.
Financial Advisors are nothing more than scumbag salesmen saying and doing whatever they can to get people to give them money. Because, if they don't bring in money, they don't get paid and neither does their housing/car/insurance/utilities/food bill. 80+% of all Financial Advisors are financially ruined after 2 years of entering the business and have to go and get a real job. F- sales. Therefore, f- being a Financial Advisor.
Also, keep in mind Bernie Madoff and Allen Stanford were, at their core, salesmen. Do you want to be part of the same group as those jagoffs?
I was just wondering if that was a good combination. I am getting my Associate's Degree in Business soon. But I am interested in other cultures but love business. I wanted to be a financial advisor or a financial planner. I've also had a passion for real estate matters: real estate appraisal and leasing. Any advice?
I'm getting my Bachelor's in Finance just in case anyone thought I was only getting the Associate's degree.
Yes, a sound understanding of the global economy combined with finance will serve you well in all these fields.

I am an online student there. My top problems with this school consist of
a. Not ever being able to get in contact with my financial aid advisor.
b. my financial aid takes forever to go through, thereby forcing me to be out of class for weeks and sometimes months
c. No one can ever tell me anything definite about my financial status.
Is anyone else having these issues?
Is there anything I can do?
I had a major issue with not that school but "AIU" My best advice for you is to leave. First off no matter what they say these schools DO NOT have National Accreditation. Meaning what ever standard the U.S. Dept of Eduction has, these schools do not meet. Theses schools often bypass toe "core classes" that are needed to get an degree. They may have local accreditation or regional which is their only claim to fame. But their degrees are worthless.
