Ehh interesting. Although, I do know people who went into S & T with zero finance experience whatsoever and are doing quite well. I come across some profiles on LinkedIn as well, this dude went to a State school (like myself), had literally ZERO relevant experience (worked in the caf and retail and stuff) is now working for Wells Fargo. I've seen similar profiles of people working at Goldman in the securities division as well. Thoughts?

My take is, if you can show your good at selling and are personable, you should be able to do quite well in S & T, more so towards the Sales side of course. I got an informational with a BB a few months back through an MD, after which he referred me to the HR person who emailed me and wanted to 'just chat' with me about what i'm looking for. I completely blanked when she asked me to pick a stock and pitch it to her... was not expecting that to happen. Never again... ALWAYS be prepared!
