How do you become a Financial Adviser?

I am a Sport and Exercise Science graduate (Bsc with Distinction), and I am not enjoying my career in the leisure industry (rubbish pay, ridiculous hours and I am not finding the work either challenging or rewarding).





I would like to change career to work as a Financial Adviser as I am interested in money, investing and financial planning. Does anyone have any experience in this area who can give me some advice on the best way to become a FA and whether this is doable for a 31 year old graduate who currently has no experience in this field. Thanks.|||Try a bank. They have their own financial advisors and would put you through the exams you need and you would get lots of support and experience.





There is a ladder you would have to climb but it shouldn't take too long and experience isn't neccessary, just good people skills and a good brain. Most have websites with job opportunities on, take a look and see what they have got. and don't dismiss the idea of going in a something else (ie customer sdvisor type role) as once you are in it is easier to change jobs and create your own path.





I used to work at a bank and they tried to get me to become an FA but i had my heart set on being an accountant but they had a great offer to make.|||you study all that for so long only to realise it was not for you, god help you
