<p>I go to a community college. I had to take 30 remedial courses, and that coupled with a semester taken off from school will force me to be in CC for 3 and a half years before I graduate with an Associates Degree in Business Administration.
Do you think I can still become a financial adviser?
Also, what gpa would I need to become a financial adviser?</p>
<p>I may be incorrect but I believe a Bachelor’s Degree is required to sit for the CFA exam. Also I believe there actually is a 3.1 or 3.2 required GPA.</p>
<p>I plan on doing two years in finance for a ba in finance right after i graduate from cc</p>
<p>Did you actually mean 30 remedial courses?</p>
<p>sorry, 30 remedial credits</p>
<p>I am not sure why you think you are going to be at a disadvantage?</p>
<p>because it’ll take me 5 and a half years to graduate college from when i entered college.</p>
<p>So, you are thinking employers are going to judge you based on your TIME in college instead of your GPA and achievements? Of course not.</p>
<p>you do not need to go to college/university or a CC to complete your remedial courses to be a financial advisor. a financial advisor is a more modern name for a broker. What you do need to be a financial advisor/broker, is to be sponsored. Get sponsored by a firm who is currently hiring broker trainees. Once you are sponsored, it means the firm is willing to hire you after you pass your series 7 exams and has verified with the SEC. </p>
<p>A lot of firms hire broker trainees but being a financial advisor has a very high turn over rate. out of every broker who makes it, a minimum of 99 fails.</p>
