Well, someone has to do it for those who are either too lazy, or too silly, to look after their own financial affairs - multi millionaires are a different story and it actually pays them to have the best wealth management people - but for the ordinary joe soap, there is really no good reason as to why they can't look after their own.

At this moment I am in hospitality. To be more specific, I am an Executive Concierge at a major hotel. Just got my real estate sales agent license and will be transitioning into real estate. I actually do know a whore house pianist but she is blind.
Worked previously for a few years doing anything from basic IT stuff to writing news articles to programming to customer service to organizing seminars. Full-time now.
