A child's reason for becoming a financial advisor

An ad campaign I saw today on the TTC features young kids with epilepsy revealing their aspirations.

Child #1
Aspiration: Construction worker
"Because I like to build."

Child #2
Aspiration: Chef
"Because food makes people happy."

Child #3
Aspiration: Dentist
"Because smiles are important."

Child #4
Aspiration: Stockbroker
"Because fast cars are cool."


It's funny how the child who wants to be a stockbroker wants to be one due to the expectation of a posh lifestyle. Not to make the world a better place, unfortunately. On the other hand, the other children's ambitions are rooted for constructive reasons...the betterment of society. The young man's stereotype of the profession is common, and I genuinely hope he will drive that fast car.

Dare I believe that a similar child even a decade from now will want to be a financial advisor [yes, he won't use the term stockbroker] to "help people reach their financial goals in life." We could simplify it, but you get the drift.

It'll happen. Of course, I think so.
