What did you do to start yourself on that career track? Degree? Books you have read? Any advice for someone that wants to get into the field?
I am a criminal justice major, but my true interest lies in economics and finance.

When a few friends realized my interest, they asked me questions, and I gave them answers which were quite good and profitable.

Add to that I got tired for working for an employer which does not care about employees, and I wanted to enter a people centric business. I combined my interest (finances) with my demographic (people centric) and it merged at financial planning.

He's not completely gone. He's still lurking around here, but he doesn't really post anymore.

We've sent a few PMs back and forth.

Of that, I'm not sure. Haven't heard

I'm sure he'd love to hear from you. You can send him a PM by clicking his SN in one of the posts above. (or click here: http://www.savingadvice.com/forums/p...=newpm&u=10167 )
