Yeah I agree with the whole investment bank thing. No one will hire me because I'M to old at the age of 33 and quite frankely they know I'm not going to eat shit at my age and that is the reason why. Thats fine, because I had a couple offers already and they can F-- off. I don't need them...

I am in the same boat as NEWGUYINTOWN. I have asked questions like this before here and have gotten nowhere as well. I don't think their are any prop firms that offer great mentoring except the ones that won't hire you. I have a 3.5 in quant finance undergrad but not Ivy so No one wants me. So...

Hey I Have been bartending in an upscale restaurant for 10 yearsin one of the wealthiest towns in the country. Most of my regulars consists of Brokers, traders, CEO's, and some of the wealthiest people in America. I am amazed at how rampant alcoholism is in our society. So many otherwise...

Hey I was in Hawaii for 2 weeks last year. It was my first time and I think the Big Island was by far the best. I stayed at the Mani Lani there. I rented a jeep and drove up to the top of Mona Kei 13,700 ft . It was awsome up there. Ohau was to crowded and noisy for me. If you want to really...

Yeah 10 million seems like a lot of money to have to raise just to make 100k a year, but in reality most people don't need a broker these days as you said. I wonder if you can be a broker and trade your own personall acounts at the same time. I would guess not , due to the insider information...

Hey I was wondering how much money under management a broker would need for him to earn lets say 100K a year and not have to go around cold calling anymore. I in another post had talked about being a bit older and having a lot of contacts. I was thinking about becoming a broker, but I hate...

I went on my own, I got done with my last final exam at 8:00 P.M on a thursday nite and then drove directy to JFK and was on a plane the next morning. Talk about being burnt out from school. I did not want anyone else going with me. I like to be independent and do things on my own. If you go...

09-02-05 05:22 PM So....what exactly are you bringing to the table besides some math degree? Well a lot, the math degree is the least of my skills. Most importantly I am bringing to the table the traits necessary to succeed in the markets and the willingness to do so. I worked full time...

Hey guys I have a unique situation. I plan on soon begining a career path as a trader and am trying to figure out which area of the market would be best to position myself in. In terms of getting a job, making big bucks, and not being replaced by a computer. Here is my deal, I just...
