Thanks for the reply rudey.
You've echoed many of the same sentiments given to me while i spoke to local brokers in the industry; last year during my series of interviews. To say the turnover is high is a considerable understatement. And, i didn't consider this as a career until the opportunity was handed to me. Here's some information about the company -

What the article doesn't tell you is that their traders only trade the same stock. Wow boring, but would it be unreasonable to suggest that if any traders became efficacious on a stock that it would be this type of trader? Also, the 4 month training period is your opportunity to hack it under their system. There was a certain amount that needed to be achieved by the 3rd month (i think it might have been around 5) in order to continue. Theoretically, depending on my process I would know by the 3rd or 4th month to stay or leave. Lastly, I would also be certified by this period, so that if this particular career (within the industry) wasn't for me I would have other opportunities available (because of my CSC). Anyways, the way my living situations are working out i'll probably have to prolong graduate school a year, easily giving me time to give this a shot and return to full-time hours as a bellman.
