Answer:

No skill are required only you need to focus on stock market and some of top stocks give you better result if you work hard to analysis it.

Good at talking bull****!

Stockbrokers are salespeople. Period. You need to know enough to talk the talk, that is all. There is no education requirement as far as the license goes. Your firm may have one though.

A finance degree is overkill. You don't need to pick investments, your firm will tell you what to sell. This is why they have research departments.

Excellent people and sales skills. If you survive you'll learn what you need to know over time. Lots of brokers don't have a relevant college degree, or even a college degree at all.
