You may have heard of a common saying “put your
money where your mouth is”. With an obvious
knowledge on money these days, more and more
people are becoming wiser on what to do their
money
in the area of saving and spending. Being wise
have led them to hire someone who specializes
with
proper handling of finances, a financial planning
advisor.
A lot of employment opportunities are always
available for financial planning advisors. He can
work with
everything that’s related to insurance companies,
banks, security firms, mutual funds, stock exchange
and more. According to studies, 1 in 10 financial
planning advisors are working for huge respected
firms.
However, if you are in a place or country where
fresh graduates aren’t easily employed, it’s better if
you are self-employed. A good thing about this is
that you will just have to start with small capital.
Also,
you’d start small and can end up big. Just imagine
having a small office in your home.
But you don’t have to limit yourself helping individuals. You
can even reach out and extend your services
to local companies that are also having trouble with their
stocks and want to invest them.
You have to remember that becoming a financial planning
advisor isn’t an easy task. You need to have a
certain degree in finance, business administration, statistics,
accounting and even insurance. Those are
plus points but it doesn’t mean other degrees aren’t allowed
or relevant to the financial industry. There
are certain aspects where you can apply your skills from
other degrees. The only thing is that you just
have to learn the basic principles of finance or get a short
course to study.
After taking certain courses, you will also need to
take certain examinations that will qualify you to
gain
certifications. Having a paper and a CFP after your
name isn’t enough, that’s because there are more
things that you need to do. Once in every 2 years,
you must attend a continuing education course to
become updated with the latest trends in the
industry. That’s the only time you will have to call
yourself
one of the best certified financial advisers.
Being a financial planner is a promising job
but once you become the best in this field,
you’ll reap the
rewards of your hardships.
