Do an internship in a brokerage or investment firm where you can gain experience in brokering or stock trading. Also, gaining sales experience of any kind can be valuable.
Take the necessary exams to become licensed.
Work as a licensed broker. You may find clients through business and social contacts, through joining organizations or teaching investment courses, or you may inherit the clients of agents who have retired. Also, existing clients may refer new clients to you.
