The “financial services sector” is a term used to<br />
describe a cluster of occupations that manage money<br />
and requires that its professional employees possess<br />
similar knowledge, skills and abilities. Careers within this<br />
sector include investment planning, banking, insurance<br />
and business financial management.13 Generally, these<br />
careers offer their professional employees autonomy,<br />
high salaries and challenging career paths. To reap these<br />
occupational benefits, however, some professionals within<br />
this sector have heavy and sometimes unpredictable<br />
travel commitments and are required to work long<br />
hours, a large chunk of which is spent sitting in front of<br />
computers analyzing complex data.13<br />
