#293 - A Helpful Conversation On Alternative Investments As a Career Path

There is no doubt that the wealth gap exists in our community. Learning how to invest and investing is key to minimize that wealth gap, not just for ourselves, but for our families. Another way to minimize the wealth gap is looking into a career that pays well. One field that can pay well is alternative investments.

  • What the National Association of Investment Companies values and how they help.
  • What alternative investments are and the pros and cons to them.
