How many hours do stock brokers work?

Career: Stock Broker

When first starting out, stock brokers work very long hours. Since trading begins early, stock brokers have to be on the job and making big decisions before the opening bell. After the closing bell, stock brokers need to spend time marketing themselves, networking, and building their client base. Some stock brokers work 12-hour days, while others work regular business hours, starting early in the day.
