In this video we are going to cover the career decision making process, progressing through university, internships, the hiring process, and the start of my career. Being a financial advisor involves working directly with people, often older people, and telling them what to do with their money. So its generally though of as a job that you can’t do right out of college. And I agree someone should get at least a couple years of experience before actually working with clients. But you certainly don’t need to wait until you’re 30 years old which is what many financial advisors like to say. The first 2 years working in the industry are probably the most critical to becoming an effective financial advisor. But, this story starts when I was about 13.

Hey, how are you doing? I’m a very nervous CFA level I candidate, and, in the last 3 mocks I averaged 79.4% (Kaplan mocks). Still worth doing more mocks or should I concentrate on repeating questions that I got wrong/reviewing the material again?(7 days to exam)
(Also, very sorry for the unrelated topic – love your channel)
I’m surprised you got the CFA when you knew you didn’t like institutional. Also you aren’t the first person I’ve heard say due diligence/research types of jobs aren’t all they’re cracked up to be
you're hilarious lmao. and very valuable video. Not just for us getting in the biz but also getting to know you. Peace
Please share me your Instagram id Sir

I am studying for the CFA and that's how I found your channel, but now I like watching your alternative videos as there's only so many videos you can make on the CFA! Thanks for the content.
