FINANCE M oney makes the world go round and it's a sector that is an attractive prospect, not least because of its own potentially high financial rewards. The UK's financial sector employs 3.1% of the workforce and in 2018 contributed £132bn to Britain's economy - and although London is a global financial centre, more than half of all those billions were generated outside the capital. Those entering the finance sector are expected to work hard and under pressure, but the rewards are good, from decent starting salaries to whopping, six-figure salaries with experience. There's plenty of variety too - from accounting and financial planning to tax and investments - so there's a great chance you'll find a job that suits you. Read on to find out whether you could be in the money. JOBS & CAREERS /// 59 58 JC Spring 2020 Financial services FINAL Artwork.indd 59 27/05/2020 16:28
