hi everyone. sorry to go slightly off topic, but here is my situation and i'm looking for some advice:

i was always into economics at uni and got into lse studying economics with 3 x A's @ Alevel. for one reason and another i dropped out in the first year. i am now a project manager for a print & design company (first job and have stuck to it as i have done well) i enjoy the job and after 6 years (aged 25) am on 30k and doing ok. with sales roles looming potential is around 40k in next few years.

now, have done CEFA 1 as i am still interested in the economy, money and all things related and was considering a role in financial/mortgage advice. have i left it too late? what can i expect to earn as a newcomer to the industry but as someone that *should* be able to take it up quite fast?

thing is, i keep thinking about it but as someone who lives on their own with a mortgage, i can't really afford to drop a big amount in salary and wondered what the potential earnings, working hours and experiences of guys/girls that are in the trade think?

cheers - and sorry again for veering off course!

if you want to be a financial adviser, you will need to definitely go into a role where you can attain your CAS (Competent Adviser Status). I am sure Dunston or one of the other IFA's will be able to talk through the route of becoming a Financial Adviser but I know one company that will put you through your qualifications and pay 25k a year if you have the right attitude and ability. Your earnings will be higher than this if you can sell and I would hope that you should not see any drop in earnings once you are up and running.

Becoming a mortgage adviser, you would need to get MAQ or CeMap to do this and you will probably enter the industry on anywhere between 16-25k as a trainee. Once you are up and running and selling 30k a year should be achievable but like the Financial Adviser role, your earnings are determined by your ability and application.

The 2 roles are very different but you will find that you can do both if you get all the qualifications. Which ever role/path you take, your initial earnings will not set the world alight based on the fact you will probably want/need to spend 2/3 yrs within the job/industry to get to grips with regulation and additional knowledge. The exams you are taking are important but they are like your driving test, they give you the basics but not show you everything. As they say, you only learn to drive when you have passed your test.

So you've already said. You might want to be a bit more patient.
