I think it starts when you have an opportunity during the summer breaks or winter breaks,
to secure an internship in the field.
I think if this is something that a current student is considering as a future career,
they need to do their research and their homework to know exactly what it is
that they're getting themselves into.
And it's not for everyone, but if you do your research and you realize
that there's a good match with your current skills, this is a profession
that many will be very happy with.
It's interesting and it kind of alludes to what I said about you have the opportunity to work
with the people that you enjoy working with, that there's a bit of a saying out there where,
essentially it's, "Show me the advisor; I'll show you the clients," meaning that,
generally speaking, as in any other profession, there are many different personalities
and that they attract different types of people.
So, if you're someone who happens to be a bit more--
say you have a characteristic that maybe you're a bit more analytical
or a bit more academic based, you might wind up attracting clients
who share that same like mindedness.
And on the flipside, if you happen to be a gregarious, fun loving person,
you might find yourself gravitating towards attracting clients
who fit a similar type of personality.
So, I think that there's room for many different types of different people for this line of work.
