Financial Advisor Throughout my childhood our family had two dogs, three rabbits, five cats, five turtles and a lizard. In turn we grew up loving animals. Since me and my little brother loved them so much we decided we would grow up to have our own veterinary practice. That was the plan until freshman year honors biology which promptly made me change my mind and question my interest. After some reflection I realized that I would thrive as a financial advisor. After I realized biology wasn't my strong suit I decided to find my strong suit. After some exploring I realized that I excel in areas necessary to become a successful financial advisor. Namely "Customer personal service, economics …show more content…

There are very few times/places when I feel like I belong 100% with no uncertainty, one being the wrestling room and another being while I'm taking a math test (I've studied for). I feel that financial advising is a job where I can incorporate my interest in numbers in a professional way. If I go to MSU and graduate with a bachelor's degree I can start right away and become a financial advisor.

To begin, according to ("Naviance Careers Personal Financial Advisor") the salary range of financial advisors ranges from "33,400-141,900". Not only is that a good range but as a financial advisor there is a lot of room for growth. Hypothetically you could make an infinite amount of money, if only you had infinite resources. I like the fact that as a financial advisor my salary reflects my hard work and the harder/smarter I work the more clients I will have and the more money I will make. Second of all "Most personal financial advisors work full time and some work more than 40 hours per week. They also may go to meetings on evenings and weekends to meet with prospective or existing clients."("Occupational Handbook Outlook"). Personally I am okay with working a lot as long as I am interested in what I am doing, which I won't have a problem with as a financial advisor as stated previously. Also starting out you will have to work a lot of hard hours to start building your portfolio but once you're a made financial advisor you have much more freedom in your career as you already have most of your portfolio and you just have to maintain their accounts. Once I get to that point I plan to spend more time at home with my family I plan on having in the

“When I die” Aunt Sal quips loudly “I want something important for my obituary.” She looks up, her eyes following the electrical lines which run directly over the swimming pool in her backyard. I used to dream about those wires crashing down while I swam laps and for a while I refused to swim in Sal’s pool. But, now, I figure that I’m more likely to pick up an exotic disease there than have an electrified wire snap apart and fry me to death. Sometimes, you just have to narrow your fears down to a few major ones.
