I've always thought it would be a great job to be a financial advisor - not the type who works for a big company helping people choose mutual funds, but the kind who really helps people get their entire financial lives in order, sort of like the advice given here on case studies, except one on one, with a follow up plan, and with some sort of certification?
Does this sort of job exist? I've never even met with a financial planner, so have no idea how the process usually works, or what sort of company I'd work for, unless I could somehow start something on my own.
Thoughts?
