Depending on what you hope to do, education and licenses vary. I will not speak for others, but I have a mortgage license, securities license (6,63), and Life/Health license. This allows me to do most of the things I want to do for now. Additionally, I intend to add to my securities with a series 7, 24 or 26, and 65. These will give me access to more products and better service for my customers. I also hope to add a CLU designation or other professional recognition in the next couple of years. This all adds credibility.
