I'm currently a teacher wanting to switch to finance. Would a financial advisor be a good entry level job?
I'd like to get an MBA, but I know I need experience. I am fluent in Spanish and French and I'd like to eventually be in international finance. Any suggestions?

The problem with a financial advisor position is that they are almost all commission based, and it's extremely difficult to build up a clientele. So, if you go this route, do you have possibly 1 year's living expenses paid? Because, you probably won't get a check until you sell financial instruments. Sort of like a realtor.
Some companies offer a "draw" but this is essentially you borrowing money that you have to pay back - assuming you build up the clientele and start generating income.
A good entry level job is a financial analyst (not advisor), but these positions usually require a degree in finace and/or accounting (or a business management degree). If you do not have one of those degrees, then it is very difficult to enter a financial position.
