what non-sales-related jobs can you land in the industry with a Series 7? or maybe i should rephrase… what jobs that arent sales related require a Series 7 license?

Back Office 35k a year plus benefits!

Companies want guys to bring in assets, every other position is replaceable.

Outfits like the Scotttrades of the world will let you sit in a branch office for 50k to basically assist customer concerns and help open new accounts that walk in.

Ric Edelman and Associates.  Be warned, in addition to series 7 you’ll need to understand dollar cost averaging and Roth IRAs.

And after they fail at a bank and get their licenses stripped for unethical practices they sell Indexed Annuities and post pictures of Rolex’s they stole from a 70 year old prospect because the guy wouldn’t buy his sh*tty product.

Hey now… I use EIAs and I have a license and I don’t work at a bank…

  EIAs have their role.. From what Bio says, he sells them right.. some people don't..I have a friend who uses the Jackson Natioanl EIAs with a 5% cap because it pays him more than another company that has a 6 0r 7% cap...

  Whats the deal with these guys? I ran into the name last week, there is an office near me. Are these guys registered reps who dont sell?

Client Associate position at the wirehouses or a Bank Broker’s registered asst…aka glorified secretaries, but hey it’s stable pay.

Did you steal those from an 80 year old ? Post a picture of your boyfriend next.

Why do you even come to this site ? You don't need to learn anything because you know it all. You have enough money to buy and sell all of us (so you claim). You should be laying on a beach somewhere. What gives ? And Bank Brokers are stupid.

Its not impressive to have a watch you bought off some dude in a trench coat in NYC and a $750/month lease on a Benz. From where you come from that may be cool, but in the long run a positive net worth makes more sense. That fine, to each their own.

I get notices in my inbox that a reply was posted to my topic, i get all excited, and this is the bullsht i find. ppl, please, if you just want to f** with each other then take it elsewhere. if anyone has some answers to the question i posted, your input would be much appreciated.

[quote=BioFreeze]Here’s the gold Audemars Piguet and the key to the Benz, bankboy. You’ll have to open a lot of checking accounts to get this stuff…

[/quote] Good grief that watch screams Bio-sleeze… Gold is old and that watch looks 20 y/o, you gotta get on the platinum train man. You see any rappers with gold in their mouth any more?

  p.s. nice ride though if you got the AMG package?

Lots of jobs out there that look for a Series 7.  Back office jobs, jobs at wholesalers, etc.  Actually even in this environment people are hiring.  Just look on Monster.com.  Being an FA is definitely not for everyone.  And it is not the only job in the world worth doing.  Good luck.

a wholesalers job is even more of a sales job than advisors. =) But I would agree, a back office job as a professional order taker. A licensed sales assistant to an advisor is also preferable.

A good part of the T12 I have that so many find to outrageously high to believe was due to his help IMHO.   I'm owe him a great debt.

Back to the subject at hand.  I know this will probably get a negative reaction, but you can jump into Compliance with a Series 7.  Start at a large firm for little pay, gain as much knowledge as you can and get into the RIA Compliance side.  Once you get some experience under your belt, you can go work for a RIA and make really good pay.  Of course, you won’t make as much as some of the rain makers on this board, but you will be pulling in 6 figures for a normal work schedule.

  Of course, you will be responsible for a firm's compliance and liable if anything goes wrong.
