What about a career as a Personal Financial Advisor?

Yahooforever asked:


I have been interested in becoming a Personal Financial Advisor for quite awhile now. I will be a senior in high school next year and I was wondering if anybody could give me any advice on this career? Not just the basic advice that counselors give because I’ve already been to enough of those. I need inside advice. Such as personal experiences with financial advisors, or maybe someone that is one. Thanks in advance. It is much appreciated.

A little about me: I am outgoing, good with people, I am the youngest employee in a customer service phone center for a major magazine company in my area, I’m already invested in stocks and mutual funds while the majority of my peers don’t even know what that is. So obviously I’m committed. Any advice that is beyond generic would be of help.

BTW I am completely serious about this career. I’ve already got some college classes planned and ready to go for after high school.

    I am thinking about being a CFP but I wish i was as young as you are. You can make a lot of money and have some fun helping customers. Is it going to be hard sometimes, yes. I would get on Edward Jones’ website and do some research, they have some good ideas. Also, go to college, a degree in Finance will help. Good luck. Going from what you have said, i think you will do good.
