I studied math and thought I was going to be an academic but ended up at a brokerage as a quant guy.  It was a small to medium size operation so I had a chance to stand out and before too long they wanted me to do some retail and sell some quant based products I developed.  They sponsored me for Series 7 and Series 24.

Of the 2 main guys I worked with, one trained as a CPA and one was a geneticist.  The geneticist was really ahead of his time.  The way he saw the market signal confluence was not mainstream and usually successfully contrarian.  Lots of my contacts followed non-traditional routes to their current positions.  Perhaps we just mutually gravitated in our associations, but it seems that is not too uncommon these days.

I could post lots more here, but if you want, email me at nbechdel@juno.com if you have more specific questions.

Can anyone tell me the steps I need to take to become a stock broker? the_noble Apr 26, 14:44
