Gentlemen… I concur…

[quote=BROKR1]I got a false fail from the NASD[/quote]

Take it easy guys.  The brokers who failed because of that NASD computer error got a very raw deal.

If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, see this article on WSJ.

Brokr- Has anybody sued EDS over that one yet?

You’re asking a tough question.  Working in a call center isn’t the best way to start your career.  It’s possible to move up from there, but many brokers never make it.

However, working in a call center is much better than destroying your credit rating.  And I assume that you’ve tried everything else.

I love how people throw $100k around as chump change.  A call center position may be the perfect job for a lot of people.  Have you considered the fact it’s a stable paycheck, no concerns about performance, never take the job home at night, no long hours calling prospective clients with your next pay check on the line, no real rejection.  Not a bad income if that’s what you prefer.  Heck, in my area doctor’s make about $140k and they have a heck of a lot more stress than a call center broker has.

But hey, if you want to pretend that you make so much money and are so important that you should make fun of people making $100k per year, be my guest.

Another piker who can't manage is own affairs, yet somehow believes he is qualified to do it for others.  Learn how to balance your own checkbook, become an adult, and then think about offering services to other adults.

That's pretty f'ing unfair. He's not out there trying to teach people how to balance a checkbook. He's a new, broked*ck broker trying to get started in the toughest time ever for a rookie to start.
