Yup, looked into it a bit.. CFP I need about 4-5 years of industry work experience (1-2 years to take first exam, another 1-2 for 2nd, 1 more for the final I believe..)
Ill get my CSC from the program im currently doing atm..

My past goals range from chef->restaurant manager-> hotel manager... Through these past years I have dipped my hand in all these areas..
As years past I gained experience became a little less naive.. Instead of thinking about just what I felt like doing (guess you could call this passion?)
I thought about stability, work environment, pay, benefits..
Anyways instead of telling my life story (which i half did lol)
Overall these are the main reason why I chose to go in as an financial planner...
- Stable
- Benefits
- Decent pay
- Personal interest in the overall field
- Not to sound cliche... but one thing I have learned through these years of working is I enjoy helping and interacting with people.. (aka I dont wana push paper in a back office, well at least not all the time :P)
- Work hours, I prefer a 9-5 type of job..
