I’m a long time reader, first time poster. I’ve always had an interest in finance and have being investing in equities throughout most of my 20s (I am now 30). I currently work in marketing but have decided to take a change of career direction and begin studying through Massey with the intention of becoming an AFA.

I know there are a lot of experienced members here who have been involved in this world for a long time. I’m looking for any advice that you’d offer to someone looking to make a career shift into advisory.
