Business Outlook
Pros
Flexable schedule, you make what you find and sale. If you know a lot of people and are able to win their confidence then you may have a good chance of survival.
Cons
Tough times for financial industry, people are unsure what to do with thier money. Getting you securities certification is not the easiest thing to acquire. Most burn out within the first two year. If you can not get in front of a lot of people, then you will not survive. There is a lot of cold calling and phone work. After you make it past your 2nd year and if you have built up a good clientel, it does not mean continued success.
