Financial advisor jobs may not be there anymore, or at the very least they will be severely affected. Short-term, covid has big impact, because they cannot meet clients and generate sales. Even with video-conferencing, it's just not the same, no personal touch. And these advisors don't actually earn by giving advice, rather they earn by sweet-talk and charisma. These moves are much more effective in the real world than over the phone or through a screen. Long-run, financial advisors face poor prospects as well. There are all kinds of digital banking solutions and even roboadvisors that can replace them, and they're getting better and better. Long story short, don't be a financial advisor.
