Thank you Thank you Thank you. Finally a response which is informative. So maybe what I'll do is start at a pro firm with salary and eventually move on to a hedge fund. You know where i can get a list of pro firms that pay salary? Thanks again

It seems that you yourself do not live up to the standards you expect me to live up to. If you would have carefully read my post you would know that I worked with a pro firm and actually did make trades. I highly doubt that you have sufficient experience and talent to judge, as you call it...

I have been told by a friend of mine who holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from MIT that Oxford on my resume is as good as gold. I am not expecting my Oxford experience to land me a job but rather to land me many many interviews for trading positions. You are right when you say that Oxford...

I believe I would be very good at trading. Sometimes I look at a stock's behaviour and just know where it is headed. When the stock does what I expected I kick myself for not having the money to actually captalize on the opportunity. When this happens consistently I know I should be a trader...

Thanks for the reply. You are right. Some of the feedback I received I didn't like and will not tolerate (for example, a comment stating that I deserve an ass kicking?.....if someone would like to say that to me I would prefer it to be a face to face confrontation rather than a "you cant see...

You are right about that. I will try to serve this forum in a way that fits into my perfect plan. If everyone did that, I think this forum would be a better place (at least better than the way it is now with people making negative comments instead of meaningful ones)...

I have an honours degree in mathematics, and a degree in computer science from NYU. My gpa wasn't as high as the typical Oxfordian's gpa but high enough to get me in. I don't want to be a programmer........I want to be a trader. If it is difficult to find a salaried job in trading after I...

Maybe you didn't read my previous posts but I believe I stated that I am torn between trading and academia. I believe that an MsC at Oxford will quench my intellectual curiosity for the time being and also help me be a better trader (I have heard that it takes much discipline to write the final...

But what if Vinny from New York was to attend Oxford? Then I suppose there would be nothing stopping him right? Bay Ridge Brooklyn born and raised baby.... I understand your point though....

thanks. It is unfortunate that anyone would want to set me up for a fall....I thought this forum was supposed to be a place where everyone contributes their knowledge and answers peoples enquiries. Maybe I am wrong....

I like your signature profile quote. Thanks for the info. I signed up with about 10 or 20 forums this morning posing the same question and to be honest, I didn't pay much attention to each forum's details because I figured that all forums are the same: you ask questions and if people can help...

The answer to your question about salaried jobs is: Debt. I have massive amounts of student loan debt which I need to start making payments on six months after my graduation. So I will require a position that pays a salary (at least at the beginning of my trading career). Thanks for the...

I need a paid job to cover my cost of learning the game. There are some firms which pay salaries and give substantial raises and bonuses based on performance. I can't go the profitibility route....at least not at this stage when I have massive amounts of debt to pay off. Thanks

Thanks for the tips. It's a good thing this forum is not a professional communication venue, now isn't it? LOL

Hopefully I will be able to do better than walmart....

I really don't mean to offend anyone. I generally am humble and modest. In fact, I understand that you can only be a successful trader if you ARE humble. I have the feeling that as soon as the market senses your feeling of mastery of it, the market will humble you (see my profile signature)...

Thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate it. Like I said, I just want to get my foot in the door for interviews; I don't expect to get a job on my educational credentials alone (though I do hope that my resume will stand out amongst the other applicants because of my NYU and Oxford...

You seem to not understand what I said: I THOUGHT EACH FORUM WAS DISTINCT. I joined elitetrader.com for the purpose of having my question answered as I did a search with google.com for "trading forum" and this site popped up. I am not interested in the content of the forum except as it...

Thanks for the reply. A lot of the people on here are assholes. Why does it piss people off so much that I posted my question to every forum on elitetrader.com? I thought that each forum was distinct since I am new on here. I don't like paying for starbucks or fetching sandwiches from Panera...

I'm a lover not a fighter, despite my username. I just think that most efforts by the government (or by any entities for that matter) to limit the people's free will are unnecessary and should be viewed as unacceptable. I like making my own choices in every area of my life. I hope that...
