I’m currently a consultant analyst but I’m studying for my CFP to become a financial planner . I have been accepted into Texas Tech’s graduate program for financial planning . Is going for a masters in this field worth it ? I’m on track to make six figures in the next two years and I am not interested in taking a pay cut while transitioning into financial planning . Are my expectations realistic in terms of making six figures with the CFP completed and masters degree ?

I personally don’t think the masters degree it worth it. Especially if you still need to meet the work requirements to become a CFP…not sure if your current experience counts towards this? However I do know that the texas tech program is highly regarded and may be able to help with jobs too.

I think it’s definitely realistic to make 6 figures. I’ve been a CFP since 2016 and have been on the RIA side for 9 years and make well over 6 figures.

I’m 23, and I volunteered for 6 years teaching financial literacy to middle - high school students financial literacy for a non profit .

I’ve been having better interviewing opportunities in finding a job FP since I started studying for the CFP . I was thinking that the masters degree will really help me get my leg in the door , while also taking into consideration the cost.

My company offers a 6% 401k match , and you’re fully vested after 2 years , which is what is motivating me to stay put . I’m trying to figure out what would be the best use of time to make me more marketable in getting into the field during these 2 years.

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?
