'm 19 and considering a career as a financial consultant/advisor. I keep hearing really mixed takes, so I wanted to hear it straight from people actually in the field.

If you work in finance — advising, planning, wealth management, or anything adjacent — I'd love to know:

• Do you like your job? Why or why not?
• What's the part nobody warns you about going in?
• If you could go back, would you pick this career again, or do something else?

Trying to get an honest picture before I commit, so the good, the bad, and the ugly are all welcome. Appreciate anyone willing to share.
