Getting a job in a firm that deals with stocks, options, investing, etc?
I'm interested in getting a job that involves investing and doing any type of research of companies, etc. I don't have any experience it this field simply because I was always stuck doing stuff I hate while learning about the whole stock market as a hobby on the side. Now I quit the job that I deeply dreaded and I want to go into that field because I know for a fact that I will like it. It's probably the only field that ever interested me. Now my question is, how do I get started? Every company requires experience and a license but in order to get a license you have to be sponsored (I don't understand that either) by a company. It seems like a catch 22. Does anybody here know how I can get my foot in the door at any type of investment firm? I don't want to go back to something I truly hate :( I'm young and still in school, but I know for a fact that this is the field I will be going into.

- Small firms will hire a good salesman that seems intelligent. Gunnallen offered me a job, but the people who were willing to hire me were at a NY branch and would only do so if I mived up there. There was a small firm in my city that I was told would hire me, but the economy isnt in a spot I would want to be in a commission only job. Not all stockbrokers are straight commission but if you have no experience then this is the likeyhood.
