I found that letter most intriguing because I am trying to get my career in finance off the ground. I have completed the CSC and CPH. I have been told to get a job with one of the big banks and go from there (any feed back would be appreciated). I would eventually like to be CFP. I love the markets and find them fascinating and by reading Ms Park's book, I am even more intrigued. The letter that has been written paints a really bleak picture. However, I must say that my previous background was in the airline industry and I must say that that industry was a non satisfying experience. My point is that I am sure there are many industries which are not all they are cracked up to be. But it is up to the individual to determine what they want to take away from it. I still feel there are many successful and good people within all of these industries and it is important for us to recognize the good(ie. Ms. Park) from the self-serving. I wish this gentleman all the best of luck and I hope I have a better experience in my financial career. Parm
