HIGH DEMAND
spacer
According to a recent Occupational Outlook Quarterly, the financial planning industry is expected to grow 35 to 40 percent. In a challenging business climate, people need advice on tax and estate planning, retirement planning, and investing, and financial planners will reap the rewards. As the economy grows more volatile and the number of complex planning decisions increases for consumers, financial planners will have more and more clients lining up for their services.

LOW STRESS
spacer
RFC Designation High demand also means low stress for the financial planner. Clients are increasingly nervous about the state of the economy—and their finances—and grateful for the guidance an educated planner can provide. Financial planners are commanding higher salaries than ever before—the average income is $185,000—as the demand for their services swells. And that means less stress and more work enjoyment for the financial planner.1

BE YOUR OWN BOSS
spacer
CFP Designation The financial planner can be his or her own boss. Many financial planners work independently within small firms, where they set their own schedules, provide planning solutions, manage clients' assets, and consult directly with their clients. Still other financial planners run their own practices. Once you have gained your certificate through Kaplan University, you are on your way to professional autonomy.
