We look at what Ryan’s qualification journey looked like, including Ryan’s opinion on whether to focus on getting qualified, or securing a position in the industry. We look back on Ryan’s first year as a Financial Planner, why he felt his situation was a fortunate one, and what things to consider when starting from the ground up.
Finally, we look at what Ryan thinks the future of employment in Financial Planning looks like, including training and development, facilitating growth, management and more.
