Default I forgot everything I learnt in university.

I've been playing poker for about 2yrs now, I was 4 years into a dual major IT/Law with the IT component finished and Law 1 year completed. Now i'm living in China studying Chinese at university here. I just realised whilst looking at the Java thread, I can't remember a [censored] thing I learnt in that IT degree, I couldn't possibly for the life of me at this point even imagine including it on my resume or attempting to gain even an entry level IT position.

Has this ever happened to anyone else. And it's not like I just got through IT, I loved it and did fairly well, logic and mathematics is generally my forte.

On a side note when I finish up studying here i'm planning on going back and finishing the law, but I think i'd like to be a stock broker, for myself I mean not for a firm. I think it's a good job for someone who generally approaches things in numbers.

I am 22, if that helps.

I am assuming you are saying you are taking law at the undergraduate level. If not I don't really see the benefit of getting a JD if you want to be a stock broker.

Yes undergrad, this is how it works in Australia, or something I don't know but it's what I'm doing.

IT is computer stuff, Information Technology.

The best degree for a wanabe stock broker would be a finance degree I would think, or econ.

I got my bachelor's in applied physics, and at this point I know absolutely zero about physics. I'm 30 though.

Not econ. Being a broker is more about sales and marketing than finance actually.

Probably true any business degree would probably suffice.
