Financial advisors enjoy flexibility, variety, strong connections to their communities and ample opportunity to succeed in their jobs, NAIFA President Robert Miller recently told U.S. News and World Report.
The magazine named financial advisor among its 25 "Best Jobs of 2012."
"You get the opportunity to be an independent businessperson, so you have the freedom to practice your profession in the way your desires take you, to control your own hours, and to be active within your community," Mr. Miller said.
U.S. News adds that 78 million baby boomers in the United States are nearing retirement age, which is like to bolster the demand for advisors' services in coming years.
