Tips for an FA?

My friend is an FA at a reputable firm FA firm.

She's passed her tests but feels like the job isn't a great fit. She's only done it for a few months and she can't change to a competing firm for at least a year unless she gets laid off.

Anyway - so assuming she sticks it through - what are her exit opportunities besides Bschool?
