Thanks for the feedback everyone.
BajaDoc: I'd consider myself FI. Invested funds of $1.25M, no debt, Required WR 2% (currently WR of 3%). But yeah, I do feel a bit lost I guess, hence the post.
MXT: Fee based FP sounds interesting. But, my philosophy on investing is so simple, I'm just wondering if that would work as a FP. "I recommend a 60/40 Stock/Bond AA by using Stock and Bond Total Market Index Funds or ETF's....thanks for coming in :)." Of course I realize it would be more involved than this, but just not sure that would sell. That being said, I've helped several friends over the past year with this very approach and most of them seemed oblivious and appreciative.
PBK: I live in Sacramento, but I'm intrigued about opportunities with Vanguard you mention. I'm going to look into it. I like their approach, both from a moral standpoint and performance.
SeanMC: Writing was actually the favorite part of my career. Specifically, writing about strategy and planning related to project management of the financial systems I managed. I really enjoyed that aspect of the job - the politics.....not so much. You're right - I need to give more consideration to the nuts and bolts to any potential career in financial serves. My first job out of school was a stock broker - little did I know that the "nuts and bolts" consisted of 10 hours of cold calling :).
Thanks again for everyones feedback. One thing is for sure: Being FI gives a person a chance of actually finding an enjoyable occupation.
