need some career advice PLEASE HELP!!!

Well, to start i'm 25 years old i'm involved in a stockbroker training program I have my Series 7 and i just got my 63 this afternoon. I have always been interested in finance and love working on wall street. im always interested in learning and would consider getting another license. However today I was informed that now that i have my 63, my firm will be cutting off my salary in 3 months, based on the performance of the other brokers in our office i will not earn anything for a few months after that. I'm a college dropout so i think finding a high level job will be very hard for me. I love the place im in now but i know they're are alot of places offering similair programs unfortunately if your on wall street, as well you've probably heard about places like john thomas financial who will fire you after 2 weeks if they don't like you, and then you are screwed so i hope someone here can offer some new advice

Thanks new friends!!!

My guess is you need to finish your bachelors first or you're not going anywhere.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
