Prop Firms in NYC with salary, free training, and no programming experience necessary

Quote from hilojack:

As Rodney Dangerfield once said, "How about fantasyland"!

The problem for the OP and his generation of coddled-I-deserve-XYZ -because- I- scored- ABC on some math test is that he knows nothing about hard work.

We see it all the time on my desk (do not ask which one), though its usually from the Ivy League brats who have been told that their sh!t doesn't stink because they never left the circle-jerk of campus.

You know what? I want to be a pro golfer. I've never golfed before because it is expensive to play, but I'm pretty athletic and know I could be good at it. I just need someone to teach me to play, pay for my rounds, buy me equipment, and then sponsor me on the various tours until I make it. Does that sound about right?

Oh, and I refuse to play at the public cheap courses nor will I work any other job that could potentially put money in my pocket so I can contribute to the costs. Thanks in advance.

I weep for the future LOL

I never said that I was entitled to anything. I have to take my best option. I'm just trying to find it.

No offense pal but you have NO options. You want to trade off the graphs with CNBC on in the background????

ROFLMAO!

I want to follow graphs and trade, keeping CNBC on in the background to see if anything relevant is happening.

That's Plan B! Good man! And there is no one to tell you what you can't do!

That's just a general idea. I know there's people who trade via writing programs. I don't really want to do that so much. Think closer to Million Dollar Traders. Though do they really still use phones? And yes, I know it's very different from a "real" trading experience although I'm sure it varies a bit from place to place. I feel like you're on here to flame and bash rather than help. It's disappointing, because given your background it sounds like you might actually have some insight. Everybody else here is giving me insightful advice.

I think that was Ivy League sarcasm in response to my Southern state university white trash opinions about trading. In the interest of full disclosure, I went to the finest drinking school in the South. No one would hire me to trade, so here I am in my jammies with my feet propped up on the coffee table drinking a lowball.
 
Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but .... why don't you learn to program? If you're good at math it should be no problem, and it's an incredibly useful skill/tool. I know pure math guys might be a little ... er, disdainful of programming since it might seem too tedious or like grunt work, but really, the pros outweigh the cons.

It's definitely something I'm willing to do. If I cannot land an opportunity soon it's something I will consider taking up. That might be what I'm missing on my resume.
 
The issue not mentioned is where this grand passion was all through school. I always knew what I wanted to be when I grew up and screwed and drank my way there at every opportunity. So I was fully prepared and qualified to live my lifelong dream upon graduation. I didn't just wake up a year later and say "I want to be a dissolute wastrel! Where can I learn how?"

I did not always want to be a trader. I really wanted to be a professional poker player from age 14 through part of college. However, my parents didn't care for that. The more I learn about trading, the better I think it is. It gets rid of a lot of aspects that I don't like about poker. However, I understand what you're saying. Firms might wonder if my interest is there for the long term if they invest in me.
