What careers/jobs are best for a financial advisor that wants to transition out of financial sales?


Question:
Are there industries, careers, jobs that a financial advisor's skill sets transition to relatively well? I have tired of living off commission sales and want a job with a somewhat stable $50k plus salary.

Answer:
You can take CFA and become a financial analyst. A more behind the scene type of job rather than selling products.

You can take CFP and become a financial planner. Work for yourself or with other personal financial management firms.

If you are more mathematical and analytical then CFA is probably better. If you like to work more directly with customers, then CFP probably works for you. Either way $50k is reasonable to obtain.

Best wishes.
You may want to investigate a sales position with a consulting firm like booze allen hamilton or price waterhouse cooper and deloit. These companies have lots of cash always look for people to sell consulting services. Also check out software sales with IBM or other leading providers.
