I am so excited!  I just landed a job in the finance industry.
That's exciting! Congratulations! What type of financial services will you be working in?
I will be a financial adviser.  
That's cool. I could use a finance adviser in my life, honestly. Will you be independent or working for a company?
I will start off working for a company but hope to start my own firm in a few years.
Well, that's exciting! About how long does it take to get all of your licenses?
It has taken me several months.  I am excited about helping people make some of life's biggest financial decisions.
What is it that made you want to get into that field?
After facing challenging financial situations on my own and seeing how difficult they were, I wanted to make it easier for others.  I want to help others buy a home, pay for their children's education, and retirement. 
Aww, that's great. I always love to hear stories of people who rose above their situations and then use their new status to help others.
