Default Re: Quickest path for me to become a trader

My old boss had a funny line. When Leslie Quick came in to wish us a happy holidays - We didn't know this when he first walked in (Quick and Reilly) We said, "What's he doing here?
My boss said "He wants to know why a guy with a fourth grade education makes more money than he does." He was talking about himself.

To be a market maker does not require much in the way of education. To get onto a trading desk at a sell side firm often requires an MBA.
