Opinions please?

Their are brokers and consultants in the art industry that do quite well for themselves...I mean the ones who are top notch, which probably means they were extremely passionate about their areas of expertise at one time in their life.

Art broker is not a career I have ever thought about, but that sounds like a great idea.

It wasn't my interest in the trading industry that led me here, instead I was trying to find a forum where high net-worth/intelligent individuals spent their time. I was referred here by a post from a successful affiliate marketer from another forum.

Thanks for your detailed reply, investopedia looks like an AMAZING resource.

I must admit, my quantitative skills are lacking--I was always drawn to the arts, history and whatnot--I am trying to fix that. It seems there is quite a disparity between the way I IMAGINED the world to work and the way it ACTUALLY does.

Unfortunately few high-net worth guys, if any, belong to any public forum.... let alone ET.

Don't stress about your educational background. As long as you have a B.A. it is good. I went to a liberal arts school and 75% of the graduates, regardless of whether they studied art, music or psychology, are in finance today. One of my best friends majored in history and he is a bond trader on Wall Street now.

Since you are 27, I would seriously consider the CFA (just Level I would do). It won't make you a good trader, but it will make you knowledgeable about the financial markets. But it is about a $1,000 and a one year commitment... you need to study your a$$ off. You have a better chance getting into any market related position with that Level I certification. Otherwise, continue studying about the market and apply for clerical/entry-level positions for any firm. Don't worry about the pay, the experience is more relevant.

I have no idea why my grammar is so terrible lately.

I meant 'there' and not 'their,' obviously.
