okay well the whole ameriprise thing did not work out. I was invited to their orientation and never went. I just didnt feel it. My friend, on the other hand, went to the orientation. They said she would have to pay $1300 upfront to get licensed and then they would reimburse her if she passed. They also want employees to stay with them for about 6 years, and when you have worked for them for about 10 years, you can easily start making $100,000/year. At the beginning they start you off with $2000/month plus any commission. I am glad I never went to the orientation anyway because it is not something I would have wanted to do.
So I graduated on sunday! I am so excited but I dont feel like it has actually kicked in. My dad is already pushing for a masters. I told him I wanted to take some kind of a break and get used to working full time, paying my bills and just relaxing. Maybe next fall!
Anyway- the day after graduation I got a call from Primerica which is affiliated with Citigroup. Apparently Citigroup is the largest financial institution in the country. Primerica is building many many offices here in Houston. The guy sounded really impressed that I had just graduated with a degree in Finance. He wants me to go see him and see what the company is all about. It is a position for a financial analyst where they will of course train me and whatnot. It sounded awesome until he told me where he was located. It is about an hour and a half from my house. I was a little dissapointed, but I called him back to ask if that is where I would be working and he said that I could probably go to another office closer to my house, and just drive up there every now and then. The way the guy was talking to me, it sounded like he already wanted me to work with them and the choice was up to me. We will see how it plays out. I am thinking that a financial analyst is more of what I am looking for than a financial advisor.
Anyone know anything on Primerica or being a financial analyst?
