see the thing about forums is that, the mature thing to do is not participate.  There are always assholes who fuck around and every now and then theres  a good post worth reading.  but this is the forum at its best.

Hope all is well in advisor land.
I am curious about relocating after being hired as an FA.  Lets say you work for a firm like ML or EDJ (i know these firms have strict contracts) for about a year, and you’ve only just started to build business and you’re performing at average levels. 
Then, for serious reasons, you need to move across the country.  Is it possible to keep the job at all (keep your clients, or start from scratch in a new city), or do you just quit and end up paying for training costs?

    Seems strange you would ask this question considering your sizable inheritance.  Why would you include EDJ?  Why would you say performing at average levels?  Why would you say starting to build a business?  WAIT, I have figured it out.  They are lies!!!  Quick question, did they not teach grammar or puncuation at your top 10 school?  While we are asking, what is the name of this imaginary business you started in high school?  How did you get around ML's policy against nepotism?

Boss, you should really update your Xanga page

i was being modest and not to revealing.  What are you doing up so late?  go to bed?  you’ve gotta go sell used cars tomorrow morning, oops your an FA.

If half this pompous aire comes out when you become a fullfledged FA you’re going to be the best thing that happened to the other FA’s in your city.

I’m all for talking crap on the net, but if there is truth to any of this, especially the attitude that sits between the lines you may be in for a wicked reality check.

Confidence, and open ears are good, arrogance and an open mouth isn’t.

Am I so out of touch that Emory became a top 10 school?  Which top 10 list?  Top 10 in Atlanta?

17th, 10th… who is counting?

We can schedule your review for Wednesday evening right after band practice, or would Friday night during the intermission work better?

…he’s got a couple other bands too i think. 

i meant it when i said top ten bud.
emery’s good, but not quite there.

Oh here’s an idea, why dont you try facebook?

Once again, i just had a couple of valid questions.

If that’s not you, be thankful.  That guy looks like the Indian version of Napolean Dynamite.  I can just see the family now:  “Well little Robeen didn’t make it to far with the rock star thing, now lets give him every penny we have because I know he’s going to be the best gosh darn Financial Advisor in the south!”

  And this could be that guy's pitch for new clients: "Invest with me and my band will play at your kid's bar mitzvah or birthday for free!"

Boss, on this forum, the real world is helping clients achieve their financial goals.  In this section of the real world, your private school doesn't mean squat.  The school may help you land a job, but it won't help a single client of yours.

I graduated from elementary school.  Your original question has no validity because the response won't give you any meaningful information.   

In my experience, I have noticed no difference in the income of highly educated reps and others.  The area that I have noticed a difference is that good looking ex-jock types do much better than analytical nerdy types.[/quote]   Not true, Anon.  My production has been about average, and I am really, really good looking.  I also used to be a college quarterback and D-1 hoops player.   Hey, you can be anyone you want on an blog!

I run with the bulls in Pamplona every year and have climbed Everest seven times. I even once made Chuck Norris cry.

I won the Kentucky Derby last year before being put down, now I’ve been reincarnated as a hopefully soon to be financial advisor and message board addict.   Not to make you all jealous, but all of the other horses have already promised to invest their winnings with me, which means I’ll be starting out with a book that will put more than enough grain on the table.

  Not if your situation is as you now claim (which it isn't).  So are you a liar or a douche?  Both?
