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?

I think financial advising is an appropriate career change. It is important that you get the proper education and certification to best serve your clients, such as obtaining the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation. Additionally, it is important to have knowledge in related areas such as tax law and investments to properly advise your clients. As you start your new career, it may be beneficial to first build your experience by joining an established financial advisory firm. Having experience working with actual clients will help you become better prepared to build and manage your own clientele. It also gives you the opportunity to observe and learn from seasoned professionals. I wish you the best of luck in your new career!
