It can be a good career. BUT, like anything, it is at it's core a sales job. You have to be a great salesman.
The way you make money in it is by building up a book of business/clients, and getting their funds under your management control.
When you do that, your career becomes very secure and you become a very hot commodity. I know a couple of guys who are "Financial Advisors" who built up nice books at one of the big brokerages. They were recruited and are going to another brokerage. The are getting signing bonuses of between $600K and over $1 milllion (paid out over time).
You gotta be a people person, and you have to be able to sell.
