    looking at Jobs in the WSJ for traders
    they all want College degrees:mad:
    I don't have one



    you would think that if your a home trader and average a 60% return in trades (have proof)
    for 5 years you could have a job as a trader for
    a firm....

    Take your case to them. When you have peformed well enough for long enough, you'll find a place.
     
  3. Be innovative, change your cover letter to 1 page.
    fax in your cover page with a 3 year summary return of your trades.

    you think anybody gives a shit about your college degree in the real world?
    Its the only thing they can filter between the absoluet freshoutofcollege idiots and the absolute idiots who don't have degrees.


    when you are not an absolute idiot, you just need to show results.
