Having read what you said, I've always considered disclosing my gambling career to employers but it definetly seems very risky, depending on their disposition. What do you guys think? One financial advisor told me not to because of obvious reasons.

I've been successful at poker for the past 3 years, started when I was 17. Pays for tuition. I have also been successful with sportsbetting with 1000% return in the last year.

I'm a 3rd year finance student University of Toronto (argueably most notable in Canada) looking to get into the investment industry. My marks are only average, and I feel that my only options are: stockbroker or working in mutual funds. I'm considering to move to Las Vegas or New York

Any advice is much appreciated.

Keep in mind alot of people in the OUTSIDE world still think poker is a form of gambling and will look at you as a degenerate. As for being a stock broker..if you like to sell and are good on the phone...yes go for it. Its a tough grind being a broker...you have your ups and downs..and get to the point where you are wondering where your best intersts are....is it to make your client money or is it to buy that new CL. And this is true for all levels of this industry.... Its a tough industry but as the saying goes...to the victor comes the spoils...... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]


oh btw... Trading stocks is easier than HOLD EM.
