Financial Advisor Career Profiles

Right now I'm 16 years old. I go to High-School and I'm a pretty good student.

Even though I'm supposed to have fun, I do a lot of research about different careers that I'm interested in. A few of my friend's already have an idea in the direction that they want to go. I however, change my idea literally daily. Even now, in the summer, I still think about it.

It's so annoying, sometimes I just drive myself insane thinking about it. The longest that I've been with one career was a week. I just want to pick the right one or stop thinking about it.

Some of the careers that I thought of were a Psychologist, Psychiatrist, Pharmacist, Cardiologist, Heart Surgeon.

History Teacher (Elementary-College), Lawyer, Business Manager, Financial Advisor/Planner, something like what you see on Law & Order (The people that go out and integrate the people), and a Cop.

Computer Scientist, Computer engineer, Graphic Artist, Software Developer, and that's about all I could think of.

I truly have thought of all of these careers at one point. My true dream is to start a Business and become a billionaire. That's truly want I want in this life, but I can't think of any ideas that could get me there besides from starting a new technology company like Sony or Microsoft.

Please help me, if you'd like to know my interests, please feel free to read my profile or contact me through e-mail. I really need help with this, and I really want to stop thinking about it all the time.

Thanks for all your help!

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

Hope that made you feel better :)

As seen on www.QuietAgent.com , Anonymously evaluating every job, every day for you. Advise clients on financial plans utilizing knowledge of tax ...

I've been investment licensed for 10 years and have worked both as a licensed banker and a financial advisor both independent and in a bank. I have sold many fixed annuities in my career and it never fails that I have one to two clients cancel during the free look period a year (only when I worked in banks).

I have talked to many advisors who haven't had 2 cancellations in their entire careers. I don't hard sale, and I disclose everything, I profile deeply and give clients alternative options. Yet, I still get clients cancelling after signing up. I don't know what to do. It's frustrating, and I'm tired of wasting my time with these people.

Can anyone shed light on this for me?

I think the other issue is that once consumers realize all the advantages of annuities (better interest, safety, insured accounts, avoid probate, etc) then they might shop it around some.

Typically annuities resold through a bank do not offer the best interest rate available on a given term. All the clients have to do is get online and maybe find a better interest rate.
