Pursuit ot .... analyst ?

What sort of impact do you think is the new movie "Pursuit of happiness" going to have in terms of people trying to get into IB.
I think everyones gonna think of themselves as the next Chris gardner.. thats gonna increase competition for positions in IB way more than it is now.

I didn't watch the movie yet(had finals)...but didn't he work at a stock brokerage firm?

So shouldn't really affect IBers.
