- 6 videocassettes in 2 separate cases.
- out of print and thus not available from The Teaching Company itself
- I assume that each video is 2 hours, for a total of 12 hours of lectures.
The Teaching Company is an American company that produces recordings of lectures by nationally top-ranked university professors. The professors create courses for the company in a special studio located outside of Washington, D.C.
The company was founded in 1990 by Thomas M. Rollins, former Chief Counsel of the United States Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources and a graduate of Harvard Law School, who noticed the effectiveness of videotapes in learning during his study.
This particular course is conducted by Jules Schwartz
Retired, Boston University
Ph.D., Harvard University

Professor Schwartz did his undergraduate work in mechanical engineering and received his M.B.A. degree at the University of Delaware.

Prior to taking his position in Boston, Professor Schwartz was Assistant Dean and Associate Professor of Management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He also has 15 years of program management experience with Sperry Rand, Westinghouse Electric, and Thiokol Chemical Corporation, and he was credited with six U.S. patents.

How can I get required financial work experience to become a Certified Financial Planner while still teaching?

Question : How can I get required financial work experience to become a Certified Financial Planner while still teaching?
I’m interested in becoming a Certified Financial Planner, but I’m facing something of a “Catch 22.” In order to complete the requirements for the formal certification as a financial planner, a person has to have 3 years of financial work experience. I’m currently a full-time high school social studies teacher, and would like to make the transition to the new career as quickly as possible after I retire from teaching (in about 10 years). What can I do while I’m still a full-time teacher to get the financial work experience I need so that I can make the transition to a Certified Financial Planner without having to spend 3 years getting this experience after I retire from teaching? Thanks in advance for your time, ideas, and information.

Answer by RKF
That’s tough, since I’m sure you have a busy schedule. Contact Life/ Health insurance agents and financial planners in your area and see if any of them have summer positions open. Maybe some of them are open on Satudays? (Long shot.) Maybe you’ll find someone who will take you under their wing in a mentor/ mentoree relationship.
You could always get your life and health insurance license and start selling annuities (considered a financial product). From there you can get your Series 6/63 and/or 7 licenses so you can sell variable interest products. You can do all of this on your own, working for yourself.
Perhaps you can ask other financial planners how they got their start?
Best wishes.
