I'm thinking about a career change.  I've been working at a college, but would like to go into financial advising.  What are your thoughts?

A career in financial advising can be a very fulfilling and lucrative opportunity. Depending on your experience, education and certifications, you could explore opportunities in financial planning, retirement planning, investment advising and other related fields. 

If you are already familiar with the financial services industry, you could enroll in certification exams such as the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) exam, or other specialized credentials relevant to your career goals. Additionally, gaining industry experience, no matter how informally, can set you apart from other applicants. Volunteer to consult with friends and family, or find informal job opportunities within the industry to gain practical expertise.

Good luck with your new career!
