If finance is your area of interest, look into the exact domain about which part of financial services domain your daily job involves. Let us say you work on insurance (Life and Annuities) you need to find out how you can learn and attain expertise in that field. Approach your boss to give additional assignments on business solutions, look for publishing articles and white papers where you gain knowledge. Learn from books, forums, certifications pertaining to Life insurance domain. Suppose you work in credit cards in similar manner you need to analyze about the domain and how that stands out from others. Credit cards are mostly used in holidays at their optimism level in that case you can find how you can specialize combining with travel domain. It really needs a homework to know about the unique dimensions of the financial services domain you work , your interests in that part of the domain, how you can foresee things and add papers and sales/business opportunities in the domain so that your boss knows you are really into it.

It all depends on people's interested most times. A lot of people can make it in life by doing things that interests them or what they are passionate about. This may include engaging in their favourite spots like footballers and boxers. In this case they are earning base on their talent.

But at the same other people can just finish up the university and get a reasonable employment , they may not really make so much but they can make a lot of money that can help them live their life comfortably without any problem and to even afford the best of what life can gives..

But out of these two ways I have mentioned above , one of the needed characteristics by both of them is that it will definitely need a lot of their dedication and time , being able to make money with your skills and being able to make money through your academic qualification is something you must be determined to achieve .
