I currently have a BS in interdisciplinary studies (from a basically unknown school) and was accepted into medical school. However, I am trying to decide whether or not to continue since medical education cost so much. I am very bright, although I need to work on interpersonal skills. What I really want to know is how to get started in an investment advisor career. I know there might be several years of slaving, but there is at least 7 years of that to become a doctor anyway.

you need to get a job with a bank that will pay for your licensing. I am state licensed for investment products as well as insurance products and have no paid a dime. There are different rules for every state but i know where i live there are basically 4 tests you would have to pass... honestly though i would highly recommend starting as a banker or somewhere in that position to learn the skills and selling skills for the job. You also said you need to work on interpersonal skills... if you dont build rapore with your clients you wont make anything.

You were accepted into a medical school and want to be an investment advisor? You must have the interest in medicine so why not pursue the field? There are scholarships, internships which can defray some costs . There will always be a need for MDs. They usually make fairly good incomes and those I know think they are investment geniuses. So now you can have both careers.

Interesting consideration. Becoming an investment advisor could be approached a couple of ways.
1. Hire on with an big name insurance company as a career life insurance agent.
2. Become an independent life insurance agent.
Both of these options require licensing. The first license you'll want to get is a life insurance license. Working in the life insurance field will give you a good estimation if you're fit for the financial services field. You'll have the option of selling life insurance, health insurance and annuities (depends on what state you live in).

Take a year off and work/travel abroad then go to medical school. Or go to pharmacy school. It's only four years.
