I went the opposite direction from licensed sales support to FA, and then independent. Being in support, your income is capped and at the mercy of the FA you work for. And... they will never be *your* clients. I make more money than I did in support, and my future income is only limited by my effort. Also, I don’t have ANY sales/production pressure at my RIA.

RIA?? What is the difference other than payout? How does it work? Any good websites to read?

SEC is a lot easier.
