You sound a bit like that JMowery kid. Well, whoever you are, I hope you find what you're looking for.

It can't be God's Gift To Trading JMowery, he said somewhere his father had passed away. This guy mentions "parents."

Quote from StoicZeno:

You've sold real estate, insurance, automobiles, all before your 21st birthday and now you're broke. Would you like to know why you're broke? You're broke because you've never done anything long enough to be successful at it. Quit looking for "fast money". Put trading on a back burner for now. If you're broke, you can't trade, period. It's as simple as that. Finish school, pursue your career, save some money and maybe by the time you're 30 you can do some trading. Can't wait that long? Then prepare for hard times, cause they are a com'in.

A fucking men brother. We got a winner folks....

And I have spent the last 5 weeks trying to get a job, somewhere that pays decent, applying everywhere from restaurants to insurance companies, still currently unemployed.

BULLSHIT!!!

Anyone can get a job at a restaurant, especially a college kid. You're full of crap.
Even if you could not, your school has more than enough job opportunities, be it in the cafeteria, student center, library, computer lab, student stores, etc.

Sh*t, I remember back in school I used to take NJ Transit and then walk for 30+minutes to the mall cause thats where the restaurant was at. Out of the 5 in the area, that's the one I got hired at first. And in the area, I mean hour commute by one way or another. I had NO qualms about it, that's the way it was.

WTF is so special about your sob story, you can't even stick to properly getting a part time job, let alone sticking to one.

You're so fucking smart, then get creative. Go tutor HS students or ur classmates. Start trading ur classmates money. Or sell weed, that's always a great biz in college.

Man if you cannot get over this hump, do not even bother with trading. You have no idea the personal hell you will be put through when there is no rich mommy & daddy to catch you when you fall down.

Hello Everyone,

This post is anonymous, being done through a name I just registered. I am a regular ET user and feel this to be a little embarrassing. The point of all of this is to hopefully find someone that’s willing to give an opportunity. People sometimes will give to charities and sometimes will donate something for various reasons. Those reasons stem from actually being genuinely giving, to make them self’s feel better, to just get a tax write off, or to try and make some sort of difference, etc. No matter what your reason, there’s always an end recipient, and in one way or another, you contributed to someone made a difference in them some way some how. Well, I am seriously asking for someone to make a difference. To give me an opportunity, that otherwise I may not have.

There is hundreds of thousands, probably millions of people around this world, that need and deserve some sort of helping hand from anyone. I do not disregard nor do I feel above them in anyway. Compared to some of these people’s problems, I am small and insignificant. This is one of the reasons this is embarrassing. I have pride and for me to ask someone for anything compared to other people that may deserve it more, well, it’s almost pathetic.

However, I picture myself, 10 or 20 years from now, trading successfully, and being very financially stable. Sitting at home on my computer, coming across this post, thinking, what the hell, Ill give him a shot. Out of all of the people in this world that are just handed things, never ever being appreciative for one bit, this may actually make a difference to this person.

Please understand this a little. I am a full time college student, and did have a full time job. I have a very large family under my parents, not myself, and I help them out as much as possible. I am very determined individual, to that degree, I hold a real estate licenses, I have sold highline cars, been a life consultant, spent years in customers service, and have delivered pizzas. And all of this was before my 21st birthday. I am very young, and hardworking. I exemplify that in my pursuit of anything I do, including school and work. Last year my college GPA was 3.76, pursuing a B.S. in Business Financee. Since the summer of 2004, I have spent my every free hour, studying, applying, practicing, and testing, anything related to trading. Specifically anything related to ES or the FX markets. I am by far lazy or a moderate young adult. But even though it’s obvious I have tried, most of everything has fallen apart.

My real estate license I had to let expire, because I couldn’t afford the renewal. This year, I had to max out my credit card to pay for school, due to the fact that financial aid wouldn’t give me any funds. I just got my school books 5 weeks into the semester, through an online college loan program. Now my credit card, as well as my bank account, is heavily over drawn. My mother struggles to make ends meet, but evidentially government assistant is out of reach, because she make to much money. I’m getting ready to lose my car, can’t afford it. The last time I bought clothes was back in January of 05. And I have spent the last 5 weeks trying to get a job, somewhere that pays decent, applying everywhere from restaurants to insurance companies, still currently unemployed. So many things, I can’t begin to type all of them. I’m getting ready to start seeing a on campus counselor for depression. I think it is getting out of hand. I’m trying not to make this sound like an over the top cheesy desperate attempt. And I hope it doesn’t come off that way.

My philosophy has always been, there are no excuses, you want something bad enough, you get it, you just have to want it hard enough. But, how many times do you fall before you decide its time to give up?

I am sincerely asking, if someone, anyone, is reading this saying to them themselves, “you know what, I bet I could help” or “You know what this kid needs is…”, please,, give me the opportunity to pursue my dreams and the favor will not go unseen. Some may not realize it, but you hold opportunities in your hands, you have the ability to pass that type of judgment on someone like me. To get me job, to help me with college, anything, good advice even, many people can due this without any hardship on themselves. I also understand, if it were me reading this, I might think its scam or just some sort of ploy, if you want some sort of proof, email me at the address below. I will get in touch with you by phone, and will prove to you I am genuine in everything I say. Again, I may not be as deserving as the guy sitting next me, but I can say I believe the thanks and appreciation someone would get, from me, is 10 times that of the guy next to me.

I hope this is taken in the manner I propose, and not to be misinterpreted the wrong way. And I for see the strong ET posters coming on to give the funny and degrading comments, so I wont be responding, unless the situation calls for it. I can be reached at the email address below. I hope none of this is in violation of any ET rules.

Sincerely,

Me

The answer seems so simple to me....I'm rather surprised it hasn't been mentioned!

Heck, you've got credentials and previous experience working as a "life consultant" Why are you lookin for career advice from the fellas here on ET?

Why not just get your old life coaching job back and then you could take yourself on as a client?

I hold a real estate licenses, I have sold highline cars, been a life consultant, spent years in customers service, and have delivered pizzas. And all of this was before my 21st birthday. ]
