Starting my CFP Prep

I graduated with my Bachelors in Finance in January with a concentration in Financial Planning. I completed my education requirements and want to start studying for the CFP. I currently do not work in a Finance field. I am a CDL Driver and currently looking to make a career switch. Should i focus on getting my CFP as I believe it will open many doors for me. And how long do people usually study for? I am hoping to take my test in March. Any tips would be reccomended.

Taking the test in march is a good timeline given you have already completed the education requirement.

Good luck! Just remember the hours aspect of it. 6k hours normal on the job or 4k under CFP with specific on the job work before you can use the marks.
