Question for any Certified Financial Planners:

I really enjoy helping friends, family, and co-workers with their financial plan and goals. I will be looking at my options for my next endeavor, after retirement, in the next 8 years. My goal is to become a Certified Financial Planner as a second job until retirement, in which time, may turn full time. I'm a first responder with a 2 days (48 hours) on. 4 day off (96 hours) rotating schedule.

I have been looking at the credentialing and education process need to complete my certification. I have no problem completing the course work, but my question is concerning the 5000-6000 hours of client interactions I would need to complete. Obviously, I would need to work for a company to complete these hours. Do you think it is possible to complete the hours on a part-time basis and would a wealth management company hire someone with little experience in a part-time role with rotating days available. I would have about 15 weekdays a month (30/hours week) to commit to this. Any insight would be appreciated.

Same question

Any help in understanding if a wealth management company would be interested in hiring a older new applicant or do they look to hire new graduates mostly?

OP:

Where are you located? I'm a volunteer firefighter in Boerne and I own a wealth management firm with offices in Boerne and Houston.

I have considered hiring a full time firefighter in the past. It can work, but it can also be tricky. Apply on our website (see other post) and let's talk after thanksgiving
