True, but if you show a kid at Hofstra a room filled with b-berg terminals and dont tell him trader jobs will be very hard for him to get, as top tier firms dont recruit there, isnt that kinda misleading?
it looks like, with the exception of CSFB, every other major I-bank recruits there. http://www.hofstra.edu/StudentServ/Career/TheCareerCenter_partialemployerlist.cfm i guess it makes sense because of the proximity to wall street, they might pick up few people a year without paying for travel expenses.
These trading rooms are all fine and great, but who's teaching the student how to make use of that information? Most faculty are woefully ill-equipped to teach "trading". Heck, a huge contigent are still lost in the "efficient markets" woods.
