I don't blame her. I'd come over too if I were in her shoes.
Princess Beatrice: The Latest Royal to Move to America-
Princess Beatrice to Join Princess Eugenie in New York City : People.com
According to both articles a spokesperson for her mother confirms this.
What's odd to me is that when she most recently quit her job 'sources' claimed she had at least a couple of offers she was considering - if so then why this sudden scooting off to the USA to go back to school. I do hope she's not being groomed to join her mother's latest scheme.
I feel a bit sorry for Eugenie, she seemed to be blossoming as an independent career woman, forging her own identity and now her mom is over frequently with her latest scheme and now Beatrice may be coming over as well.
Some big firms hire well-known people (retired or defeated politicians, for example) to serve as 'rainmaker', able to attract people and get their phone calls returned. When the people respond to the rainmaker, they are generally handed off to a person who actually knows what he/she is doing. It's an honorable position, and I think Beatrice would be well-suited to such work. Of course, she would require some study, and perhaps some licensing, to enable her to be fluid and confidence-inspiring.
She has already done one finance course and worked with a finance house in London.
She may therefore have some skills and experience to see her earn a position.
I know that many people think she will only get her job on her name but I am more of the opinion that she has to have some skills and qualifications - and we know she has some from her earlier work.
According to this, which claims to be confirmed by BP, it is a short finance course, so I doubt we are talking MBA here.^ Where will Beatrice do her finance studies? Is this an MBA in Finance or just finance courses? Good for her, hopefully she enjoys it and finds something she enjoys in her field of study.
I couldn't read the article, for some reason it was blocked.
It doesn't appear to be an advanced degree program (see above.)Along with those job offers, school could have been one of the options she was deciding on. Only on third threads would seeking an advanced degree be looked upon as a scheme or workshy.
Not knowing what a series 7 exam was, I looked it up - Series 7 General Securities Representative Examination | ExamIt wouldn't surprise me if going back to school is necessary requirement for a potential job. For example, if she wanted to do some type of finance job she might need to pass a Series 7 test.....which is no easy feat. Obtainable but you really need to study...

is it necessary to take this exam to work in the finance field in the UK?
She won't be a big attraction here, financially. She will be a very small attraction by virtue of her status. Most people in this country have no idea who she is or could care less. She needs credentials.
It's not unduly hard to study for and pass a Series 7 licensing exam, or any of several others. What is difficult is to convince people that you are wise and knowledgeable enough to make good recommendations about their money. There is a steep climb from passing a test to the point where your opinions and services are in demand. Many young people either wash out rapidly or become bored and discouraged while trying to make a decent living in these fields. Having seen my husband go through those early years in financial sales, I can barely imagine Beatrice being both 'hungry' enough and diligent enough to become highly successful.
I still think her role in the industry might be a more decorative one than a purely labor-intensive one.
Does she play golf?

Yesterday, March 4, Beatrice attended the We Day UK charity dinner in London. Today she attended the We Day UK at the Wembley Arena. We Day "celebrates the potential of young people to implement local and global changes".

I always like to see Princess Beatrice doing charitable functions (and remain of the view these should be included in the court circular), but hasn't she only just gone to New York to do some financial studies?
