What is the difference between a Certified Financial Planner and a Personal Financial Specialist? Besides the difference in requirements, which one do people usually go for? The benefits and cons of both? The money difference? Which one has the better job opportunity? Do most finance major go for the CFP? And accounting major go for the PFS? And any other differences? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks.

If I enlist my first MOS of choice would be finance specialist since I have a degree in that field. But from looking at the details, it seems like the work would not be more than making entries--bookkeeping, not accounting. If that's the case then I feel learning something else (like electronic warfare) would be more worth my time. If anyone knows about electronic warfare, please let me know.

I have just received my bachelors degree and have so far only had small side jobs. When I'm looking online now, I don't even know where to start. I know that I would most likely be starting off low, but I am looking for an industry that would be cool to work in with increasing opportunities in the years to come. Does anyone have any advice for that?
