How hard is it to be a successful financial advisor?

MusicalFab asked:


I recently got hired at Waddel and Reed and will be training to be an entry-level financial advisor upon completion of 3 licenses. Having formerly been a teacher, am I going to find it much more difficult than I can imagine?

    The tests are a joke. Most financial advisors are nothing more than salesmen. You will be amazed how much most get paid to do little or nothing. I believe in 20 years you are going to see most advisors struggling due to the availability of information on the internet.

    I wish you luck.
