CAREER ADVICE NEEDED.

I’m 18 and currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Business, and I’m planning to work toward the QAFP (Qualified Associate Financial Planner) certification.

But I’m trying to understand the real path beyond just school and certifications.

What does it actually take to break into the industry?
• What roles should I be aiming for early on?
• How do you start building real client experience?
• What skills matter most outside of academics?

I’m looking to learn from people who are already in the field and have gone through the process.

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. (Located in Canada)
