dunno since how many donkey yrs back...i've always hav this fascination abt brokers...feel tt they r damn smart in their uniform...n it's been my dream since then to work in SGX (yes, i did apply for SGX when i jus graduated, for a diploma position somemore...but no news.....=(....)
tt's also the main reason why i choose to major in finance in my degree course....little did i noe that there's onli 1 intro course to brokerage in my 4 sems of finance classes...$#%^&**.....feel so cheated...nv noe tt finance is not equal to shares, stocks, equities, etc....
Anyway, recently,I've heard from 2 of my sim classmates tt philip capital is employin ppl to b broker, & there's an exam u need to take in order to quality...n when i 1st heard this, seriously, i'm reali keen abt it...Or shd i put it in this way, i'm keen to learn more abt brokerage stuff...but i dun think i'm to work in phillip capital...haa...my dream has always been sgx...=p
but then, askin me to study again is like !!!!!!!!....i jus finally managed to get away from thick textbooks...do i hav to touch them so fast again????
Also, another concern of mine is tt so wat if i took the exam, its nothin more than jus a cert....am i goin to be a broker???at my current stage, chances of it quite low..
aiiii....dilemma man....shd i go or not go for the exam....
