Pros

Very rewarding career. I wake up every day knowing I have the ability to help people plan for their retirement and the future of their families. You definitely need to be self-motivated, organized and very entrepreneurial. There is no cap on earnings and payouts are liberal compared to most broker dealers.

Cons

You earn a living by helping people plan for the future. This is a career not a job to take for a paycheck. You have to be "on your game" every day and dedicated to your clients and your business.
