Enjoyed listening to Ben Carlson. Have read a couple of his books. I’m facilitating between becoming a broker or financial planner in my next career move. I value his opinion and appreciate his guidance. I agree with him that planners will increase in demand as the baby boomer generation grows in retiree status. Seems like a good job security choice for me.
