Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GET THE EDUCATION and along with the desire to trade and if your any good,
you've got the "World by the Halls". There are numerous banks, investment
banking houses, trading organization, brokerages, insurance companies,
etc. waiting for you. But ya gotta have the EDUCATION!!!!!
Example: My nephew had an opportunity to trade, but finished college
first and got an MBA and then took the opportunity. He trades oil futures,
spot market, etc. for European company. Income last year : $450,000, and
this was low compared to prior years.
Education is important! It won't help your trading but it will open the
doors.
