Currency Trading Education
Experience or education, banking?
I am looking at working in the banking industry, however, I will admit I am not a powerful academic performer. I am currently studying arts with several economics subjects and also a foreign language, my grades in economics and language have been high, but my grades for the other subjects have been very average, and I have two years left of my degree.
I have invested in the financial markets for three years, and have been actively trading currencies and stocks for two years, with a lot of success. My personal account is worth roughly $450,000, by the time I finish my degree I will have doubled that at least (I hope).
I have learned about charting, options, futures etc all through my own experiences.
My question is this; given my experience and success in the market, is it possible to get employment with an investment first, even with subpar academic grades?
Trading a retail account is enormously different than the way an institution does it. It has no bearing on getting a professional job. Your grades are important. Your major is similarly important but it may not matter that much either. What is really important is how you come across in a job interview. You need to come across as capable and confident. How you are going to apply your innate skills and knowledge to the position. On the other hand, if you can be that successful trading in a retail account I am not sure why you would need a job thats probably not going to pay that much, at least in the beginning.
