hopkinswannabe,

 There's nothing wrong with switching careers and unlike most of this board, I'm neither pro nor con Edward Jones.

What you are doing is the equivalent of deciding that you are ready to get married and since you like blondes with big boobs, you marry the first one who you meet.

You are an absolute fool if you go to Jones without looking to see what other opportunities exist.  Jones may be your best opportunity, but, on the other hand, you may find much better opportunities.

This isn't a job decision.  It is a career decision.  Choosing incorrectly can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

[quote=ezmoney]I left a 90k job to work for EJ in the spring of 2002 . Failure was not an option. Today, 30 mill aum and still here. Sometimes I get bored of the biz, sometimes I get sick of the biz, and then I realize where else am I going to make 100k working 30- 35 hrs/wk. I keep forging forward. It's not always EZ.[/quote]

You only make $100,000 with $30mm AUM? I'm so sorry.
