Quote from oldtime:

that's cool, then you must understand my frustration with these people who have done nothing with their lives other than get an advanced degree in some college and telling the government they must do something to help the poor inferior human beings get jobs, because how else will they ever survive?



Almost everyone who has ever worked for me has had at least 1 college degree if not more. Common sense is much more valuable in life than a college degree imo.

Yes, school was boring. I made all A's and B's but I hated school. I knew I wanted my own business early on...had a lemonade stand when I was 10 and a paper route when I was 12..mowed yards and was working at Jack in the box at 15 and a general manager of pizza hut at 17. Moved out on my own at 17, quit school and the rest is history!

Everyone I know who goes to college is just lazy and still lives with their parents, lets their parents pay for everything and they only stay in school so they dont have to work.

When they get out with their little paper they do the same and complain they cant get a job because GS will not hire them to be CEO.

the entry level begins working in a financial firm (banks, hedge fund, prop firm legit) upon graduating from college (legit, non profit).


I am not sure how can you begin your trading career from home and subscribing 3rd party educational/system vendors.


How?
