<prompt> Human: Hello!I start my new job on Monday that is likely putting me down the career path of a CFP. So I was wondering if any CFPs could say their likesdislikes about the job as well as comment on their overall satisfaction.Thanks!  <response>: Im not a CFP but I have worked in finance. The problem with the vast majority of finance jobs is that your interestsyour firms interest are in direct opposition of your clients interests. You would like to get paid well and in order to do that you have to make profit for your firm. Your firm wants you to generate commissions and fees from your accounts. Your clients would like you earn them the highest return per unit of risk with the lowest fees. Unless you are working for a fee-only advisor or one of the few good ones, you will 1 slowly become disillusioned with the system and look for a different way to help your clients 2 sell out, go along with the flow, chase the money, and start screwing your clients more and more. Just remember how you feel today and dont just go along with the flow. Your goal is to help your clients. Good luck, it can be an extremely rewarding and mentally stimulating career and you can do a lot of good.
