Update
Well, I didn't get the job for which I interviewed. Never even got a phonecall saying "We hired someone else, sorry Charlie". How Wude!
I'm not all choked up about it, though. An acquaintance of mine took me out for a coffee and told me how she had been thinking about hiring me for awhile now and she wants me to work for her mortgage company as a loan processor.
Ain't that a knee-slapper?
So, I'm going to go for it. I'm also training to become a financial planner. I figure I might as well do something that I'm passionate about and that is educating people about money. I can do the FP stuff part time and still work for my friend.
Multiple streams of income...that's what the big dogs tell you to do.
So, wish me luck! AirAmy is about to take flight!
Peace,
Amy

Sounds good
And yes, multiple streams is a good idea so you don't become too dependant on any single source.

Hey! Good for you!
Things always seem to work out, dont they?
Financial planning? Ugghh. There is certainly a need for people like you so they can help people like me. I've been working with my advisor for over 10 years. He used to explain something, say mutual funds, to me in his office and then immediately quiz me on the topic and proceed to yell at me when I got the answers wrong. Dude, if I knew all this I wouldnt need to hire you in the first place! He gets in my face, I get in his. As long as my investments keep growing it works for me.
Good luck!

He yells at you?
To quote my fave character on "The Young Ones":
Vivian: "What a complete and total Bastard!"
Or
From "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"
"Gee, it's kinda like 'Moonlighting', innit?" (snicker)
My best advice is: Get yourself Personal Finance For Dummies. It is the best gift you can give yourself because it will teach you everything you need to know about money ( at least to begin with). Then you can yell back at your FP :-)
Thanks for the show of support. It's like rocket fuel to me.
Hugs all around,
Amy

S-s-ser seren en di di dipity! Nice parlay.
It is a job I'd choose certain tortures to evade.
(I think I realized that in first biz bookkeeping chores; the absurd depreciation calcs on a series of trivial items == no diff! between One Proprietor and.. a Corp full of MBAs honing Sucking-up techniques, while practicing for their own later Caymans accumulations.)
I guess there are a lot like moi - happy hunting!
