Kate is a 2nd career-ist which means that she left a comfortable and successful career to try something completely different. Kate proves that it’s never too late to change careers and she shares with us exactly how she broke into financial planning. It turns out that Kate had a lot of transferable skills so this career change was not as scary as you might initially think.
