Im getting ready to enter college this fall and I know I have a long time to go before im ready and knowledgable to open my own business but I would like to start planning and know the prerequisites now. I’m interested in starting a business in financial planning and I wanted to know if anyone could help me and tell me what things will I have to learn to become a financial planner, what should I study, and what major would be the best to take in college.

    You need to get certified as a CFP if you’re going to do that. And, you need a network of potential clients identified.
    Suggestion: go work for a firm first and learn the ropes, then venture out on your own.
