Giz a job!*

[wasp]

(cont. from earlier thread!*)

I am technically, a thick bugger, on paper that is. Failed most of my exams, got a BTEC in business at college then travelled and worked as cocktail bartender in Asia for a few years before my first trading related job.

15 years on. I'm ****ing brilliant! (even if I do say so myself!) and something Arb just mentioned on another thread got me thinking.

If I was looking to go to a prop shop, would I get a second look considering I can't add for toffee, plus all the time I would be thinking how they should be begging me to come to them. I keep reading about how difficult it is to get in to these places, yet I can prove my skills, I just don't have a degree....

Oh, and would it really be financially worthwhile? 2 random jobs I found...

print your statements off, go see a few shops on the list. So long as you're not trading with spanish style stops, you might be pleasantly surprised at the possibilities.

I cant add for toffee either! nor have a degree, except in drunken-ness

Interesting.... A degree in drunken-ness, where do you get one of them?!

Oh, the shops part is quite tempting idea too! :cheesy:

At Cambridge, no less. The Slug & Lettuce campus.

Now, there goes a man who's even got a bar named after him - within spitting distance of the old exchange - I can't think of anyone with any better qualifications!?

I was merely curious in regards to what something Arb said on another thread. TBH, I don't think anyone could justify the returns better than I can myself and I prefer my freedom as is.
