“Really found the self-paced program appealing” I really found the self-paced program appealing, and being remote that accommodated our schedules as well. As much as I loved being a teacher, I knew I would never be making the income as a teacher that I would be making as a Financial Advisor.

“I wanted to make a move and hit the ground running” Prior to joining FATI I was in corporate America for 2 decades. Like a lot of career changers, I wanted to make a move and hit the ground running, and what really appealed to me was being able to complete the licensing while being employed so once I made that leap I would have that head-start.

“Not only helped me get my licensing, but also helped me with the business development” I was a retail worker at a local home improvement store. I chose to go through the Financial Advisor training program, because they have a complete program that not only helped me get my licensing, but also helped me with the business development that is critical to being a Financial Advisor.
