Why Engineers May Make Great Financial Planners – Episode 181

Many times in life, we see how one career field translates extremely well into another.  Engineering is a great example of this. A good engineer needs to know what a project’s goal is, put the pieces together in a way that works, and then stress test it to make sure it works in all conditions.

Financial planning is a lot like this. What does each individual want to achieve financially? What do we have available to work with? How can these pieces fit together to potentially reach their goals? And how will that financial plan work under extreme conditions, both good and bad?

Our guest today is former engineer and current financial planner, Patrick Klacka, CFP®, who talks about how his math and engineering skills prepared him so well for the financial planning field.  Tune in and find out more with podcast host Johnny Dean and “Professor” Rick Plum, CFP® on today’s episode of Managing Your Financial Future!
