Which do you think is a better career, real estate or investment broker?

Dec 09, 2006 by PlasticTrees | Posted in Other - Business & Finance

I'm interested in real estate and I love houses, but an investments broker seems like a more stable job. I am graduating with a degree in business administration (management), and don't know which I should lean towards. Edward Jones is calling me back

Start with Edward Jones. To sell houses you have to go back and get another license. Honestly though, selling homes is different from loving homes. It's more of a supplement income, not a full-time job.

Jon Corzine: The Wrong Man for the Job

17.05.12

While Jon Corzine's resume may have made him look like a tremendous asset for a company like MF Global (OTC: MFGLQ), he was unquestionably the wrong man for the job. The spectacular implosion of the firm was almost inevitable from the day that he agreed to take over as its CEO.

In many ways Jon Corzine had reached the pinnacles of business and politics. He rose from Goldman Sachs ' bond desk to lead the division and eventually the company. After Goldman, he was elected both a U.S. senator and a state governor. However, at almost every turn Corzine's sky-high ambitions slammed headfirst into brick walls.

At Goldman Sachs, Corzine's bullheadedness, particularly with regards to Goldman's initial public offering , put him at odds with other key players in Goldman's hierarchy, including Henry "Hank" Paulson, who would later become the U.S. Treasury Secretary. Corzine eventually got his way and Goldman hit the public markets, but his crusade cost him his job.
