So I have a family friend that has a son who wants to get some experince in accounts

I work for the best inusrance company, so I think why not, give him a hand to get some experince in finance markets to help him along his way

So i talk to this guy who is educated 2.1 degree etc, but he sounds like a "plum", namely talks with a wide boy / street accent which will not go down well in the city, as in "you get me brov"

SO I polictley tell him to sort it out, but he does not......what can one do ?

Telling him to "sort it out" apparently isn't enough. He doesn't know how.
Suggest that he enroll in a public speaking course to enhance his presentation skills.

Take one more shot at not-so-politely explaining to him that he's about to piss away a great opportunity. If he doesn't listen, then wash your hands of it.

If he is unable to comprehend, when in Rome, his degree is not worth much.

I suggest you pm this user if you're looking for a helping hand. User 133340 I can't think of another user who has helped more people with his sage advice. I certainly wouldn't be half the man I am today without his help.

Edit: I know it sounds like he owes me money and I'm just sucking up, but that's not the case. I'm serious.

The best job in finance for someone like you are describing here would be as a loan officer, someone who counsels people one what type of loan would fit their needs and helping them obtain it from the financial institution. Here in America we call them loan officers, or even loan or mortgage brokers.

His "street cred", as it were, would help him to be trusted by his clientele, as well as being able to put complicated financial topics into language they could more easily understand.

Just my two pence. 🙂
