If you're not confident about doing it yourself, you might as well pay someone to do it. If you've been paying attention to investing for a while, and you've got reasonably good instincts, you'd be better off doing it yourself and saving the fees. Investing in some index funds would get you started, and once you get a feel for things you might want to think about investing in individual stocks.
Pro
I second this - leave it to the pros on this
Most people with a very, very basic financial education can do just fine investing very low-cost on their own with a brokerage account. One of the most successful investors ever, Warren Buffett, said that for the vast majority of non-professional investors, a 90/10 portfolio will beat out pretty much ALL financial advisors.
Keep in mind financial advisors routinely charge 1% of your assets under management every year!! What a rip-off! Whereas you can get a plain-vanilla Vanguard index fund for like .03% annual fee. Some brokerages even offer totally free index funds!
The 90/10 portfolio according to Buffett is simply 90% of your assets in a broad, low-cost index fund (like S&P 500) and the remaining 10% in some kind of inflation-protected vehicle like TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities).
