The demand for financial advisors will boom as baby boomers retire, according to Forbes new e-book, Wall Street's Hottest Career.
The profession is expected to grow 27 percent over the next decade, according to Forbes, compared to an average growth rate of just 11 percent for all occupations tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
At the same time, the average age of today's 316,000 financial advisors is 51 years old, with 43 percent over 55, and the industry predicts that over the next 10 years, 12,000 to 16,000 of these advisors will retire every year.
