In this week's episode, Jordan and Nathan discuss the Professional Year.

We're a few years into this addition to our profession, so they discuss it from a few different perspectives:

• How it compares to how other professions tackle the idea of on-the-job experience.
• the opportunities it offers new advisers, employers and the profession as a whole.
• some views on it from an employer's perspective.
• The tension between academic knowledge, on-the-job experience and the qualitative/quantitative aspects of our work.

Be warned - Jordan seemed in a particularly negative mood, so there's some mild ranting. Fuelled, it must be said, by their pre-recording discussion on the CSLR...!
