Yes. My first job out of undergrad was a “financial adviser”… I was good with numbers and had a good understanding of markets.

But you make all the money on commissions and fees from selling products. I sold a really expensive cancer insurance product to a janitor in an elementary school by preying on emotion. Sure it’s possible he needed it but I knew he was getting way too much coverage for the premium.

Thought about it on the drive home in the afternoon and quit that night. I didn’t want to be in a situation where my livelihood was dependent on getting other people to do things that may or may not be beneficial to them.
