Best of luck, bro.

Thank you. I appreciate your advice and the constructive criticism.

What's an ADA, and why do you want to know who I work for? I will tell you who I work for if you want to know that bad.

What ego are you talking about?

I don't have an ego at all. I will never double down. Losers average losers. Well, thanks for the advice. I am going to apply to MBF. I was just on the website.

I am not a paralegal. I am clerking for a judge, which is prestigious in the legal world. I know it means nothing in the trading world, where I actually want to be. I geat the idea though, and you are totally correct. I will look up that company. Mark Fisher sounds familar, too.

I agree. What do you suggest I do in the mean time, regarding reading, study learning etc?

What is MBFCC, and how did you become an indep. trader, if you don't mind me asking?

Well, I am locked in to a one year clerkship, which ends in July. So I haven't really had the oppertunity to apply. I am starting to do some research now. In the past, however, I applied to every major wall st. firm and got rejected from all of them.

I view the law degree as a stop loss on my life. If I fail as a trader, I can always make a decent living practicing law. Oh well, thanks for the advice.

Although I don't have any formal experience, I probably know more than most candidates. I am also intelligent and ambitious. I have a law degree too, although that fact has proven to be a hinderance. Two hedge funds told me that my law degree shows that I don't know what I really want to do with...

How much do clerks make? I can always get a night job to supplement my income I guess.

I wasn't in a frat and don't have any relatives that are in the business.

I am looking for an entry-level position. If not the floor, where else? I want to become a scalper. I have a lot of student loans, so I can't just go to a prop shop. I can live of 50K a year. Any jobs areound the NY area?

How can I get a job on the floor of a major exchange? Also, would it be worth it being that many on the site predict that trading floors will eventually become obsolete?

Sorry, Sam Seiden.
