I have been working at my current company for a little over 3 years and have done okay, during my course at the company, I was promoted as Manager about 7 months ago, though the pay was not like I had expected. What is an expect pay at Merrill for someone with my experience?

My major is Economics and I have a 3.75 GPA from the University of Florida. I just recently graduated college in May 2008, and then I took an internship with a brokerage firm and did not like the job as a Financial Advisor in San Francisco. The job market seems bleak since we are in a recession, so should I go back to college and major in Finance which I will only need 30 credits (2 semesters) to complete. What should I do? Hunt for a job or go back and get 2nd degree? I'm currently 23 years old.
In order to get an MBA, you will need 3 year of experience to get into the top 25 school, so that is not an option.
My age is not a factor since I live a pretty healthy life style and I look super young because I'm Asian. So I have like a 5 year gap in appearance.
If you are going back to school, why not finish your Masters. If you did not like Financial Services, you could pursue an MBA and try other industries. By the time you finish, may be the economy would have fully recovered. During the MBA program, take advantage of internship opportunity and other project activities to the maximum extent.
It is true that most MBA programs require a few years of experience. But there are exceptions to this rule. The reason for the suggestion is that the job market is currently in the worst possible shape and it will take a year or two to recover. In the meantime, you can finish your MBA.

Two degrees couldn't hurt, because economics and finance go well together in your field. Do some preliminary inquiries about going back to UF at their office of admissions while hunting for a job, because you never know when an offer might turn up.
Live in the San Mateo County area in California, which is the county just south of San Francisco.
Dave Ramsey, a radio financial guru, offers a list of "Endorsed Local Providers" (ELP's) on his website. You can type in your zip code and get the name of someone in your area. The plus here is that he requires that honesty and integrity be at the forefront of that person's business. Also, the company I work for has done very well by me. I ususally don't promote them on this site, but in this case, I will say that H&R Block financial advisors have been great. (Please know that I get no financial gain from telling you this - I work on the tax side, not with investments) I'll provide you with both links, and please let me know if I can be of further assistance :)
