I am a Millennial, am I fit to be a Financial Advisor?

As a co-millennial who I may say that is very self-centered, we have a lot of things that we wanted to do in this competitive world of eagerness and goals. There are a lot of stuff to do out there in which we feel like a total ball of anxiety every time we see something exciting, new and Instagram worthy in our news feed. Wants overpower needs. Even before a paycheck reach your hands, you have already planned what you’re going to do with that golden hard-earned money of yours. Whether it be to save up for a new gadget, a car, or eventually own a space. And of course every millennial nowadays is itching to have a travel goal. But how would you do all of that if you are just an employee who is stuck in working for long hours and has only enough paycheck to make both ends meet.

According to the 2016 Deloitte Millennial Survey, 2 out of 5 Filipino millennials are likely to quit their jobs in the next two years. Why? Mostly because they feel that their leadership skill were not being developed by their employers. With this as a major hindrance, these millennials tend to be unhappy with their current jobs which eventually might trigger them to quit.  While we don’t know what would be the next career of these people, one thing is for sure - millennials will not stick around in a job which does not completely acknowledge their hard work and skills.

In the Financial Advising industry, this industry will give you the authority to be your own boss. Isn’t it nice to have the time to do all the things that you were deprived before? Instead of choosing between working out or hanging out with your friends, why not do both? You can exert all your efforts and be hardworking as you can, and I guarantee you that you will get what you deserve. You have no limits so that means you write your own paycheck. You get to awaken the leader within you. Everything is based on yourself. Of course it is going to be tough just like your previous job but if you’re going to struggle, might as well live a good life. You do you.
