My daughter wants to become a financial planner, so she can work in...

...investments and real estate, retirement? Retirement planning, college, insurance, ect. What would you suggest for classes to take, is this a two year or four year to be in college? Do they teach real estate in college?

I would recommend majoring in Economics or Finance. She should also get her BA/BS no matter what. It will help her with whatever she chooses to do down the road if financial planning doesnt work out for her.

My college did not have any real estate courses. Your daughter will learn everything on the job though and will get licensed by her firm. She'll have to take and pass a few exams, most likely Series 6 or 7, Series 64 or 65, and life and health insurance. It depends what state you're in. Hope that helped.
