Yes, anyone with the proper education, qualifications and licenses can become a stockbroker. The requirements depend on the state in which the stockbroker wishes to practice, but in the U.S., for example, it is required to have at least a bachelor’s degree, be registered with FINRA, and have passed both the Securities Industry Essentials and Series 7 exams. However, in some cases, passing the Series 63 exam is also mandatory.
