I never thought in my life I'd even touch finance or banking. But here I am; I'm putting in the grind at a small but high-performance independent retirement advice and investment firm. More and more, I find myself seeking out bigger projects and hungry for a bigger check. I don't want to be in the paperwork trenches forever and I'm considering launching into my own licensing endeavor after attaining my business administration degree. Strongly considering starting with the Series 65 and gathering qualifications to start as a junior advisor or a trader assistant.
