Would I be a good financial advisor? See more details? |
Recent college grad. Know mostly kids my own age. The few adults that I know are not wealthy and not fluent in English. I don't mind cold calling random people, just not on people I know. Don't mind low pay during the first few years. Don't mind working long hours. Not really worried about being able to pass exams. Any opinion? 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. |
