Summary: As the late afternoon sunlight casts shadows through the lecture hall, a handful of students at William Paterson University in Wayne, N.J., watch their professor fill a whiteboard with the words “broker,” “wirehouse,” “insurance,” “RIAs” and “suitability.” Indeed, making financial planning a viable academic pursuit for undergraduates is meant to overcome one of the industry’s big obstacles: the fact that young people just don’t seem that interested in joining it.

There’s never been more people, more investors, in need of quality financial advice from a qualified professional.”Craig Pfeiffer, founder and CEO, Advisors Ahead. |
