If you are in the market for a broker, which you should be if you are opening an IRA or want to do some investing in the bond or stock market, here is a very handy broker comparison table.
It doesn't list all of them, but it will give you an idea of what these popular firms charge you for.
What are the benefits of a broker? If you know what you are doing and what you want to invest in, this is the most economical way to purchase shares of stock or buy bonds. Online is the cheapest option. What a broker does not usually give you is personalized advice (and if they do, it isn't as good as a personal financial advisor). If you don't understand or know what you are doing with your investments, a good financial advisor is key.
As a college student, you aren't going to get J.P Morgan's high net worth wealth management analysts. But try to ask around for a reliable and good financial advisor from the wealth people you know, who might take you on now realizing your income potential.
