The print media has a glamourous image not only in New York but Toronto too. For example one young broker traded her job at the Stock Exchange to work at McLelland and Stewart, hoping she would edit prize winning fiction, like Margaret Atwood’s latest novel Onyx & Crack. Instead she was given a non-fiction book on financial planning – making a budget, RRSP’s, education funds, and how to plan for estates, all of which seemed distressingly boringly familiar.

Although the Canadian Bank oligopoly has traditionally been uncontested, the environment in which they operate is experiencing significant change. In order for retail banks to remain relevant in a decade, they must make significant changes to their business model. International political landscape tensions hinder international ambitions of banks and while the increased regulation is viewed as an additional burden, it is currently one of the rare forces keeping new entrants from dominating the entire industry. The Canadian population is facing a significant shift affecting the banks environment, their customer base includes an increasing proportion of millennials, women and visible minorities. Canada has the second largest population of foreign born habitants, and due to mass migration this trend will intensify.

Financial advising is one of the many occupations one can purse with a business finance degree. Even though financial advisors are not well-known, they do multiple things to help the global economy. A financial advisors job tends to focus on helping individuals with 401k’s, retirement plans, and other saving plans that require budgeting. Even though this job is limited to helping with these few plans, this job is very difficult and requires tedious amounts of work. The level of difficulty is the reasoning behind many not consider a job in this field. In the article, Financial Advisors, Financial Ecologies and The Variegated Financialization of Everyday Investors, it talks about how financial advisors are people oriented. This is a positive thing, because it shows the individuals who are being advised are cared for. The employment rate for this job was at a standstill for a short amount of time due to the type of work financial advisors are required to do. However, in recent years, more and more individuals are

“The Bank of Canada immediately took over bank note operations from the Department of Finance. Offices of the Receiver General across the country became agencies of the new central bank. The Foreign Exchange and Securities Divisions started work right away, and a Research Division was established to advise on financial developments and business conditions” (Watts, G., & Rymes, T., 1993, p.9). Vardy, J. states in the “The Bank of Canada: An illustrated history” that the Bank of Canada was “privately owned with shares (at a par value of $50) sold to the public. Soon after the Bank began operations, a new government introduces an amendment to the Bank of Canada Act to nationalize the institution. In 1938, the privately held shares were purchased by the government and the Bank became entirely publically owned” (Watts, G., & Rymes, T., 1993, p.9) as it remains today.

Bahrain is a regional financial and business centre. Tourism, especially from the region, has proved another significant source of income. Bahrain has benefited from the oil boom since 2001, with economic growth of 5.5%. It has succeeded in attracting investment from other Persian Gulf states partly because it used the revenues of the 1970s-early 80s boom to invest in infrastructure development and other projects to improve the standard of living; health, education, housing, electricity, water, and roads all received attention. The success of ventures such as the Bahrain Grand Prix has raised the Kingdom 's international profile, and combined with the boom in Islamic banking, has encouraged major airlines to resume services to the country, with Lufthansa announcing on 14 March 2006 that it would schedule three flights a week to Manama from Frankfurt.
