hey folks, i'm looking for some gc advice about a major life decision i'll be making in the next few months.
At the end of last summer, fresh out of university, I was hired by a day-trading company. This company trains newly graduates to use their system to trade the firm's money on the market. The catch is the first four months is
full-time unpaid labor ...the money is high (the average salary is 9600 a month), the turnover is high...hence the dilemma. Well, after conversing with some ppl in the industry and a lot of family and freinds, I turned the job down. Also, i didn't have the coin to live on nothing for 4 months.
I don't know at what point I gave this consideration. Maybe after driving X amount of nice cars I start to wonder, "why can't I have this lifestyle?" I've been bustling my balls averaging 56 hours a week so that I could go back to grad school in january without having to take any more student loans. Now, i'm trying to have enough money saved up so that I could give this a shot and if it bombed, I would be able to go back to school.
I would still work weekends for some cashflow (and security).
I've gotten a lot of conflicting opinions, maybe i can get some fresh info from more objective perspectives
