Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators GACE Practice Test

Which of the following business careers could a teacher safely recommend for a student who would not enjoy working with the public on a regular basis?

1. Financial advisor

2. Insurance salesperson

3. None of the above

4. Real estate agent

The correct answer is: Financial advisor

A financial advisor is the correct choice because this career typically involves working more behind the scenes with clients on their finances rather than in a direct customer service role. Financial advisors primarily focus on providing advice and making recommendations to clients regarding their investments, financial goals, and overall financial well-being. This position would be well-suited for someone who prefers to work more independently and behind the scenes rather than constantly interacting with the public. Options B and D involve careers that often require direct interaction with clients and the public. Insurance salespersons are responsible for selling insurance policies to customers, which involves a significant amount of customer interaction. Real estate agents work directly with clients to buy, sell, and rent properties, necessitating regular communication with the public. Therefore, these options would not be suitable for a student who does not enjoy working with the public on a regular basis. Option C, "None of the above," is also incorrect because, as discussed, a financial advisor is a suitable business career option for someone who prefers limited interaction with the public.
