Well your article.is realistic and encouraging but its your view...but just one thing... I am 67 and not a dinosaur ..I have a few more good years to go yet. I am enjoying the client engagement as much as I ever have ...not so much the rest i.e. compliance ,education etc.. its what we have to do..You have got a handle on things ..quite well ...but you cant replace experience with youth...you are a mere 48 .years of age so you can still learn a lot from us so called dinosaurs before we leave the Financial planning industry ?"Good Luck ...BD
