Would I be a good financial advisor? See more details?
Question:
Answer:
Well, truthfully, it really helps to be a rich kid in this situation because you have a built in network of people who can afford to invest. That said, it doesn't mean that you couldn't be an absolutely brilliant financial advisor. Aside from passing the Series 7 licensing test, you could also eventually try to get certifications in financial planning. Your willingness to work hard, be aggressive and ability to sacrifice current wages for larger future salary seems to make you an excellent candidate. I would recommend that you contact the major brokerage houses (Prudential, Merrill Lynch, Edward Jones, etc.) and see if they'd be willing to hire you.
Good luck!
If you have good math skills and people skills you may have the basics. if you do not get excited about the prospect you will likely turn to something else... interest should and usually does beat out abilities over time.
It sounds like you don't quit when things get tough.
For every one who makes it there are many who don't , but you sound like you're willing to pay your dues.
If this is your dream, then, go chase it.
Good luck.
