With many recent college graduates and young professionals looking for a rewarding career with growth potential, work-life balance and the satisfaction of helping others, the profession of personal financial planning should be top of mind.
Demand for financial planners is growing. In fact, it’s expected to grow 4 times faster than other occupations, according the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It’s an exciting career path that can bring personal satisfaction as well as financial rewards.
A career in financial planning also provides you the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of individuals and families by helping them reach their life goals. “There’s so much transformation in one’s life when they get their finances together,” says Brittany Castro, a Los Angeles-based CFP® professional. “It’s a great feeling because I know I helped them get there.”
