Securities and financial sales representatives
Average salary: $108,700
Demand: Fair. Overall employment in these jobs continues to be good, but high pay draws many to the field, making competition tough; success requires strong work ethic and desire. Baby boomers seeking alternatives to traditional pension plans fuel demand for financial advisers and brokers, but many rely on Internet trading.
Qualifications: Bachelor's degree, on-the-job training; MBA or certification are plusses
