Specific interest area · O*NET

Finance is a specific interest area in the O*NET database, part of the Enterprising Holland family. O*NET describes it as: "Work involves directing and managing financial activities, such as planning and investments for an individual or organization to generate income." It is scored for 891 occupations, which average 1.46 out of 7 on the Occupational Interest scale.

How it's measured

O*NET scores each occupation on this interest on a 0–7 Occupational Interest (OI) scale, where higher means the work more strongly rewards this interest. The figures here are those occupation-level scores — a description of what kind of work each job involves, not a ranking of which job is better, harder, or higher-paid.

Economy-wide average 1.46 / 7 Mean across all 891 scored occupations
Range across occupations 1.00–6.85 Lowest to highest occupation score (spread 5.85)
