Inter-dealer-broker math skills

I am still in school but I am interested in working as an inter-dealer-broker for a company such as GFI. I am not a math or finance major and I am wondering what type of math I should know to get the job/know for the job. Is it true working as an inter-dealer-broker is more math intensive than other types of brokering? Will I succeed at this job if I am not a math wiz? I would appreciate any input as to the appropriate math base I should have as well as input to the extent that the job involves serious math rather than people skills.
