<prompt> Human: The obvious answer is probably personal financial advising. But I know so many of you rag on that occupation and say theyre merely glorified salesman trying to rip people off for doing a job a robo advisor can do.Curious if there are any other career paths that might be good for someone like me who loves personal finance. Or maybe personal financial advising really is for me, despite the outraged from reddit world.Background: I have done corporate finance FPA since graduating 5 years ago and Im so sick of it. Boring and mundane. Ive lost all interest. I decided to study finance due to my passion for personal finance. I want to tap into that in my professional career.  <response>: Look around for the wealth management firms in your area and ask for an informational interview. Wealth advising is an interesting blend of know how, personality, and connections. rPF hates financial advisors because theyre...here. Where the information is. And if you can teach yourself this, you have a hefty dose of logic and ability to separate emotions and money. Thats an excellent blend. Not everyone is wired that way. I acknowledge that there is an element in my profession that is less than perfect. I dont recommend them to friends, I advise clients against doing business with them, and I ensure that Im not associated with them professionally. All I can do. My clients? Arent here. Dont know. And have varying levels of interest in learning. Some are all about figuring out how to do this themselves. Awesome! I tag them as gonna outgrow me in a few years. Some really, really dont want to get into it. I make sure they understand what were doing, why, and what Im basing my recommendations on. We talk once or twice a year, and they appreciate that they have someone to handle it. Sadly, I have a lot of widows and widowers in this category. Their spouse took care of everything. I had a client walk in and hand me six months of unopened mail. He knew he needed to deal with it and he just couldnt. Two other designations to look at are ChFC and AFC. ChFC covers a similar curriculum to CFP but does not do a national exam. AFC is designed for being a better Dave Ramsey; getting people out of debt, budgeting, better financial habits, and money coaching. An actual financial advisor does much more than just picking your investments and rebalancing. Estate planning, life insurance, your retirement benefits, Medicare and Medicaid planning, life goals and planning, generational wealth transfer, charitable gifting, and so on. I like my job. I meet a lot of interesting people and help them figure out a plan to achieve their goals. Some days I get to show them that theyre already there. Some days I show them that their current plan doesnt work but here are some options. I wont lie, some days break your heart.
