Pros

If you want a job that is and emotionally rewarding and fulfilling and at the same time financially rewarding to your family, this is it. I retired from the Air Force not knowing what to do and my advisor talked to me about the opportunity to work for First Command. I was hesitant at first because that was outside of my area of expertise. He told me the number one criteria to hire a financial advisor is the innate desire to help people. I took a chance and I am so, so glad I did.

Cons

The cons of this job are the instances where someone you’re coaching is not receptive to help. I imagine, much like a fitness coach or personal trainer, not all of their clients really put in all the effort. But for those who do, the results are amazing.
