I've heard great things about this forum and am excited to be a member and learn as much as I can. I've been an attorney for 10 years and am seriously considering becoming a financial advisor.

Become and advisor, fail out, then go get an MD so you can have the arrogance trifecta

While studying for my series 7 in a classroom, the guy behind me was an attorney who was becoming an FA. When I asked him why he decided to become an FA, he had an interesting observation:
 
"Lawyers charge by the hour. If you want to make money, you must work X hours a month to get paid. My brothers and dad are FA's and when I discovered they are paid trails year after year and have a strengthening passive income stream, I decided I was in the wrong business."
 
I highlighted the fact that as an FA I work lots of hours each week that I'm never paid for in the interest of helping people make smart financial decisions that they ignore.

Indeed, a lot of the seed you spread gets wasted, eaten by birds or simply withers away. Some will develop roots though. Look forward to put a lot of effort into it before anything starts sprouting.
