New User / Hopeful Trader

Hey everyone, I've been lurking and reading here for a while. WSO is such a great resource, and I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to add information and answer questions.

I'm a recent graduate and work at a large independent, multinational oil and gas company in gas marketing. Down the road, I'm hoping to be an oil trader - big surprise there given my school, major, location and forum in which this is posted.

I might start becoming more active in posting, but at this point I have much, much more to learn than to offer. So please don't mind me while I continue to sponge. :)

Welcome to WSO. Good luck on the path. Continue to network esp with exp. traders. Trade organizations would be helpful and high level Texas A&M alumns who are in oil trading.
