Best Answer:
find a securities firm that will back help you become licensed... then study and pass your series 7 license... thne find 20 million dollars of other peoples money to invest and be paid 1% per year to manage it while dealing with everyone hind sight and second guessing as other brokers actively recruit your clients and you sit on the phone cold calling people and asking them to give you money to invest.... find another 10 million from strangers and get paid 1% of that each year also..only keep 1/3 of what the client pays..if that... then get layed off for not producing enough comissions and have the company that hired you bad mouth you and try to keep all of the clients your recruited... get hired by another firm... have your income cut by 75% .. start cold calling rinse and repeat... then become a mortgage broker at the peak of the re-fi market...

What about a financial coach or representative? I am currently recruiting people in my business. If you want to we can talk more about opportunities to getting you started in financial services. Our business is to help family get out of debt and be financial independent. With you background, I think it will be a good fit. Is there a way we can talk? Andrew
