This question may have been asked here before, but I'd like some advice about how to combining my current day job and prospects with the stuff I've learnt on here, as well as bringing in some classic economic theory.
I currently work for a service provider in the financial services industry and am looking to move on a bit in the next couple of years. I'm currently in the process of going through CertFPS certif and will hopefully have recognition in 12 months time, luck premitting. At this point I'd start looking around and seeing what's on the market jobswise, however, having developed a keen interst in what's been discussed on here, I feel the need, rightly or wrongly, to backtrack and do A-Level Economics to fill in the gaps having spent time on here and give me a wider view of what might be going on. I guess the question I'm asking is - once those two things are completed...what next?
I'm truly not sure if I want to go down the financial adviser role that this would nominally lead to - I was thinking about paraplanning, but that really, although it maybe more of an interesting occ, may not satisfy my ability to dig and find out more about what I want to do. Are there any positions which are purely not sales based, but would involve a more technical bias - obviouly being an economist is the ideal way to go, but I do not fancy going back to Uni (or the expense) and sacrificing what experience I've got already? I also have the belief that it's pretty rare to get a pure economist based job - I imagine you've gotta be top dollar to get to that kind of level.
Any ideas, suggestions, gratefully received.
