Look, as much as I love Worldco I have to admit that the type of trading we do is the least risky (read: smallest potato) as far as the overall food chain is concerned. And I noticed how Don Bright called Bright a "big firm" and labelled Worldco something else, sorry Don, Worldco is the second biggest firm behind Schonfeld and Bright should be in the second category until you get some breathing bodies in New York area.
Unless you already have a tons of money to blow choosing Worldco or Bright for that matter over a trading position in GS is plain stupid. What heck, you can get into Worldco with literally nothing but heart, you can get into Bright with just 25K, at least you have to work for GS.
That said anyone talking about 500K as "nothing big" is due for some nasty surprises when they start working in real life. I would shine Don Bright's shoes for the rest of my life for that kind of money.
Not everyone can get into an ivy league and those that do, it is better to appreciate it and understand that there is more than one way to success, and those of us who didn't born with a silver spoon in our mouth or going to private school in a Mercedes Benz have other options, such as Worldco & Bright.
P.S. I have a copy of the account statement for every single number I provide, and I don't see why would the Fed rush down my office because I made some claims on the message board. Every single word I say, I mean it, and I don't see how is that anyone else's business.
