Hi guys,
Here's a question from a private trader who knows charts and such but is
totally
oblivious to the ins and outs of obtaining a Series 3 license, getting
employment as a trader/CTA etc...
My question is does one need sponsorship from a firm/company or some type of
entity to take the Series 3 exam? Can one just contact the NASD and schedule
an exam date? Once I have passed the exam, then what? Is there a decent chance
of finding employment at a firm? (I live in NYC so am right here in the thick
of things, so to speak). I'm no spring chicken, will be 40 yrs old next July,
but love the markets so much I want to make a mid-life career change.
Any answers will be appreciated. You can both post to group or me personally,
I'm sure I'm not the only guy in this forum who wants to be involved in the
markets full
time, but doesn't know where to start.
Pete
