In Reply To: Figure out what you want to trade (equities, fixed income, commodities) and and 'cold call' every shop that interests you where you can find a name and number of someone significant... Yes, some may say it takes brass balls but at the end of the day, unless you know someone the best way to get a job is to speak with someone that can hire you.
Message: How can I know exactly which type of market to enter. I have not had much experince with commodities, nor credit. As a finance major i have been exposed to equities mostly, however, I would like to venture out and see other securities. Also I would like to know some specific skills needed inorder to do well in each market.(ie, fixed income may require a higher math skill than equities.) Gastrader, thanks for your comments, look forward to the next one.
