What school? You don’t have to engage in big crowds all that much if you don’t want to. There are a lot of small communities that develop too.

Congrats. It’s going to be fine. There will be so many people looking for new friends and you will only need to find a few that you click with to make this a memorable experience.

The schools have so much to do for so many interests, but you don’t have to try to take advantage of everything. Start with one or two clubs that seem interesting to you and you might be surprised at how welcoming everybody is and how respectful.

Socializing that much is like riding a bicycle or swimming. Even if you haven't done it in a while, you will remember and be fine once you actually start.

Hi there, I’m wondering if it’s worth it to get the CFA, if so, what career moves would you make and what positions to look for/apply? I have the Series 7, 66, 9/10, health and life insurance, did an accreditation program for private wealth advisor through my current work, studying for the CFP to sit for the exam sometime in 2023 and have the MBA. I currently work in private wealth management. Any other recommendations are welcome.

However, I don’t even know where to start with researching the best one for her. Any suggestions?
