Personal Financial Planning Careers

The Certified Financial Planner Board conducted a survey in 2010 and found 65% of Americans are concerned about their finances due to the economic crisis.‡  In order to ensure they are making wise financial decisions, many of these people have turned to hiring financial planners.  Thanks in part to the state of the economy, personal financial planning careers are set to rise 30% by 2018.  That means approximately 271,200 people will be working in personal financial planning careers!

Did you know?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 29% of all financial planners are self employed meaning they have the ability to control their hours and conduct their own business.  Besides being self employed, however, there are many other personal financial planning careers out there.  Working in accounting firms, investment companies and banking institutions also have employment opportunities for financial planners.
