Why don't you take some time and invest yourself in getting a career? Go to grad school or take some time to learn a programming language that's really hot nowadays. Go into IT, database, or nursing. Those aren't bad options as well.

I'm not training to become a life insurance salesman, i'm getting my series 7 and 66 licenses, I don't know where you got the 30-40k figure, i'll be going for my mba within the next year or to. My base salary is 55K while training and obtaining the licenses and then 55K plus commission and bonuses. Look up the definition of financial adviser and you'll see.

Good for you, that's probably one of the best decisions you will make during your life.

ida, obviously working as a 'financial advisor' is not anything close to working as a erac rental monkey, but dont fool yourself. a 'financial advisor' is basically a telemarketer and a salesman. you will be hawking mostly life insurance with a few mutual funds on the side. you will be working nights and weekends because thats the only time that clients have to see you (when they get off work). at least rental monkeys dont work nights. if that sounds like a good job to you then go ahead and do it, but don't say that you werent warned.
