Prop Firms (W/Salary) For College Grad?

You have a bunch of D-list bucket shops ... and then, DE Shaw - a solid top tier buy side firm....
You need to seriously reconsider your move to "prop". Unlike 99% of the people here, you went to a good school and have a decent background.... joining prop and you'll be throwing away any possible real career in actual finance.

So I'm new to this idea of prop traders and it seems quite foreign to me. Firms actually backing people to trade. With salaries even.
If the common stat is that 80% or 90% of traders fail, it would seem there would be tremendous turnover in these firms. What's the edge for prop trading firms?
I'm a poker player. Would a prop trader be analogous to a casino proposition player?
