\"Paquin1\"My experience at Semler with Craig Demaree ’02 has taught me things that will no doubt help me when I graduate next year. With a focus on retirement planning, the advisers at Semler Financial Group took me in and gave me a crash course on what retirement and retirement planning looks like.\u00a0 Although retirement is a long ways away for an upcoming graduate like myself, I am quickly learning the importance of saving. I’ve been exposed to countless illustrations that show the importance of starting to save early, and how the growth that\u00a0those savings accumulate translate in<\/p>\n

to policy at retirement age. The immediate take home message that I get working at Semler, is to start saving EARLY.<\/p>\n

\"joel-2\"<\/p>\n

Here at Semler I am kept busy most of the time learning the ins and outs of retirement planning.\u00a0When I’m not seeing the financial side, I am seeing the business side. Often I get to meet\u00a0people\u00a0and sit in on client meetings\u00a0to actually see what people do to set up their retirement.<\/p>\n

Even if I don’t pursue this line of work when I graduate, the things I’ve learned here will apply to me regardless. I am\u00a0set up to be a\u00a0great\u00a0saver once\u00a0I start working. I’d like<\/p>\n

to\u00a0thank everyone\u00a0here at Semler Financial Group and\u00a0the Wabash College Small Business Internship Fund for giving me this opportunity.<\/p>\n
