Why You Should Consider A Career As A Financial Professional

If you are looking for a more challenging career and one that is more fulfilling, and allows you to help others, you need to listen to our program this week.  We will be talking with Ms. Jocelyn D. Wright, who is a Certified Financial Planner, The American College State Farm Chair for Women and Financial Services, and Assistant Professor of Women’s Studies.   Jocelyn is the Founder and Managing Partner of The Ascension Group. As an advisor, she partners with her clients to design a personalized holistic strategy to help them reach their financial goals. Jocelyn created a financial education series, Debt Boot Camp, which she has delivered to such organizations as Clarifi (formerly Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Delaware Valley).  In 2016, InvestmentNews Magazine recognized her as one of the 20 most influential Women to Watch.  We will be discussing Why You Should Consider A Career As A Financial Professional, and the opportunities and the need for more African American financial professionals.  There is a significant wealth gap in the African American community, and having more financial professionals to educate and advise African Americans is one way of closing this gap.  We will also discuss during this program important things everyone should know about managing credit and debt, budgeting, spending habits, and many other aspects of personal finance.  Please join us to explore opportunities for yourself or someone you know in the finance industry, and to learn how to improve your own personal finances.
