For Part II:

I would suggest a degree program that focuses on Financial planning and education and Insurance services. The aging groups according to the census numbers, not just in Cook County, but everywhere, provide some insight into a vast number of clients to be reached as they approach retirement or need to begin for retirement and what they will do.
