Best job options from this

I mean its going to be pretty hard to find a job with great pay, great work/life balance, as well as being enjoyable/interesting without repetition. Simply because the type of job you're describing would either be a job on the higher end of a company's organisation hierarchy which would require the essay writing/writing reports or management etc, which some would say is not 'interesting'. Or does not exist at all. Furthermore, communication doesn't mean much in terms of a skill, as it is a soft skill it can apply to a wide range of industries involving team management, hospitality, and any job that involves interoperating departments and teams. I would say it is a bit naïve to expect high pay, not a lot of work, low education alongside being interesting and non-repetitive.

Well your wrong darling because I found a job in finance called financial advisor someone who wanted to be an accountant but switched because this job like has everything I want and want from a job btw what degree you recommend me studying at uni???

If that's what you want (I wouldn't agree with your prognosis, but there you go), then you would need a Level 4 FCA recognised certification that allows you to do this, as @joe_y.i has said.

The job profiles for financial advisor include the following:

https://nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/job-profiles/financial-adviser
https://www.careerpilot.org.uk/job-sectors/finance-accounting/job-profile/financial-adviser

FCA list their regonised/approved qualifications on the following page: https://www.handbook.fca.org.uk/handbook/TC/App/4/1.html

The list of approved qualifications include:

The Level 4 diploma would allow you to sell to clients certain financial products, buit you would usually need someone senior with chartered status to close the sale. The chartered levels are at Levle 6, and that's what you usually move onto afterwards.
There are other Level 4 qualifications that allow you to sell financial advice, but you would need to check the tables e.g. CFA's Investment Management Certificate (Level 4) plus other qualifications that meet specialist standards for advising on packaged products, CBI's Diploma in Investment Planning, CISI's Diploma in Financial Planning, FoIA's Fellow or Associate or where the individual has passed all of the following modules CT1, CT2, CT4, CT5, CT6, CT7 and CT8, Pensions Management Institute's Diploma in Regulated Retirement Advice.

Contrary to what joe_y.i has said though, you don't need a degree to get into this line of work. In fact, you don't need any prior qualifications (although it's not an excuse to fail your A Levels if you are already doing them).

Should you do a degree for any reason to allow yourself to do something similar, you're looking at the following (as per FCA - activity numbers 4 and 6):
Manchester Metropolitan University BA (Hons) Financial Services, Planning and Management
University of Northampton BSc Banking and Financial Planning
University of South Wales BSc (Hons) Financial Planning, Investment and Risk
University of Stirling BA in Finance, BA in Finance and Accounting

If you do any other degree, then you would need to do qualifications that would allow you to do Activities 4 and 6 - selling financial advice is a regulated activity, and not having the correct qualification that allows you to do it can mean serious professional and legal repercussions.

If you want to do a degree in another subject as a back up for a different career path then do one of the suitable professional qualifications above, you can do so.

What would you do study degree or apprenticeship and btw if degree what uni and degree if apprenticeship which apprenticeship etc which route would you do if in my position???

If you're only interested in going into financial advisory, then it's usually recommended that you go for degree apprenticeships with big name employers. What they would often do is to get you to do one of the entry levl professional qualifications mentioned above; the more important thing is to get a job that you can keep for a long while.

It's not absolutely mandatory that you do a degree apprenticeship e.g. you can go into a financial advisory firm and then study for one of the above professional qualifications after your A Levels or degree (A Levels and degree in any subject). However, doing a degree apprenticeship would allow you to get the experience and the reputation of the firm on your CV.

If you want to do a random degree then later go into financial advisory, then you can generally go into a degree in any subject so long you have enough connections and a good enough network to move into the role. In these cases, it helps that you graduate from a top uni where there is a good alumni network, but this is not necessary if you have a good network.
Contrary to popular belief, a degree in finance or something quantitative isn't going to help distinguish you from the competition. nor are the degrees necessary to get into financial advisory. For example, I know of a family friend who did a degree in media from a mid-tier uni and later got into financial advisory in the City through her connections.
If you want to do an MPharm degree as a back up, you can do so and still get into financial advisory.

Do note: financial advisory is a sales oriented role i.e. you have sales targets and you would be talking nonstop. Whilst there are professional elements i.e. you need to adhere to specific regulations and fill in necessary paperwork, it's still a front office role. If you're not a sales person, you might struggle to get into this role.

Omg I wanted to become a pharmacist aswell yk and financial advisor can you show me what your recommend after college and what a levels you recommend me picking and what to do after thanks and tell me how your family friend got into both financial advisory and media btw I’m interested in mpharm but also still getting into financial advisory can you help thanks best person have gone to???

Well, I did remember responding to a couple of your questions before.

Other than financial advice and pharmacy, I forgot what else that you were thinking of doing (I remember that it's one of the professions where you don't need a degree in order to get into it though, just a specific professional qualification).

From your selection of jobs, pharmacy is the only one that I know of that specifically needs a degree. You can go into the other professions with either no degree or a degree in any subject. As pharmacy is the limiting factor, I would focus on doing the MPharm until you firmly decide by the end of the degree what you want to do.

To do MPharm degrees, you would typically need A Level Chemistry + 2 A Levels in any other subjects (one preferably being biology, but I don't thinks it's strictly required from memory).

I think my family friend go into financial advisory through grad application i.e. she applied for grad roles right after uni.

The degree in MPharm should also allow you to go into financial advisory if you did an appropriate qualification as listed in my previous responses afterwards.

If you're only interested in going into financial advisory, then it's usually recommended that you go for degree apprenticeships with big name employers. What they would often do is to get you to do one of the entry levl professional qualifications mentioned above; the more important thing is to get a job that you can keep for a long while.

Can I be both???

What degree apprenticeship would you recommend if be a financial advisor???

They are typically referred to as financial degree apprenticeshps/ finance degree apprenticeships. More often than not, it's usually something related financial services.

The key thing I would note is the qualification that you get after the apprenticeship. If it's not the right qualification, then you're likely looking at an accounting apprenticeship, which isn't what you want based on the above.

I am not entirely sure on the situation with student finance, but if you do a bachelor's degree/level 6 qualication, you would likely need to pay for your next bachelor's degree i.e. I think there is a chance that if you did a degree apprenticeship, you would need to fund your MPharm by yourself. However, you should check this with the SFE just to be sure.

If I want to keep doors open for both lines of work, I would do the MPharm degree before considering doing the financial advisory qualification.

Yeah but I am not interested in pharmacy anymore feel boring and repetitive unlike financial advising which think is for me in this case what should be my next step after college what would you do if you were in my position give step by step thanks???

I would apply for work at a financial advisory firm. Where possible, I would go for the big banks in the City. However, you are fine if you just go and apply to your local financial advisors if they take on trainees (ideally look for the medium sized firms, since they are more readily able to take on trainees than say the small one man bands self employed financial advisors).

Whilst you don't strictly need qualifications to go and do the professional qualification, I would at least finish your A Levels on a high note so it would look good to your employers.

If they take you on, they would likely require you to study for one of the financial advisory qualifications at level 4 with the following bodies: CISI, CII, or LIBF. I would go for the qualification that the employer is willing to train you under as opposed to go out of your own way and study the qualificaiton by yourself.
The only times when I would study the qualifications by myself is if I don't intend to work in financial advisory and just to do the qualification on the side, or I didn't get first pick of the trainee roles so I did the qualification myself to strengthen the application.

The Level 4 qualification isn't particularly long; a lot of graduates manage to do it over the summer break. You likewise would be able to do it in the same timeframe if you study intensively.

What was the other career that you were open to looking into other than pharmacy and financial advisory?
