Prep students had the opportunity to meet with TJ Spizzo, a financial advisor with Ameriprise Financial. We had many takeaways from our meeting with TJ, who realized in high school he wanted to work in finance when he took a money and banking class. TJ also gave some great insight into what it takes to balance athletics and academics as a football player in a Power Five conference. He was also nice enough to provide us with some tips for investing as we have all opened up stock portfolio as part of our year long investment challenge in personal development. Over the next few weeks we will be exploring a number of different career fields including law enforcement, NFL agent, restaurateur, professional athlete, orthopedic surgeon, and more.
