(cont. from earlier thread!*)

I am technically, a thick bugger, on paper that is. Failed most of my exams, got a BTEC in business at college then travelled and worked as cocktail bartender in Asia for a few years before my first trading related job.

15 years on. I'm ****ing brilliant! (even if I do say so myself!) and something Arb just mentioned on another thread got me thinking.

If I was looking to go to a prop shop, would I get a second look considering I can't add for toffee, plus all the time I would be thinking how they should be begging me to come to them. I keep reading about how difficult it is to get in to these places, yet I can prove my skills, I just don't have a degree....

Oh, and would it really be financially worthwhile? 2 random jobs I found...
