I’m trying to get into ER - should I go Series 7 or MBA??? I’ve been conditionally admitted to UofP if it helps.
 
focus on UofP, forget the other two (both not gonna help). only the Pheonix degree will get you a $1m job.
 
jcole…plz tell me this is a joke! I’ve seen your previous posts and you’re way smarter than this….albeit….this $h!t is funny!!
 
I hope you’re referring to Phoenix… because if you are, I think you’ve got a good shot.
 
You should take Series 63. It is 9 times better than Series 7.
 
UofP sucks! Why would you want to go there? Are you stupid? Granted it has a fairly strong marketing program, it’s not known in finance and it will NOT land you any ER job.
Go to DeVry instead, it’s a finance powerhouse.
 
Based on reading your AF posts, I don’t think you have a shot in hell at getting into UofP. So, you should take that pet grave diggers job that your friend’s, father’s, cousin’s boss offered you and make the best of it.
 
I would go with the Series 66 > Series 63 > Series 7 > U of P MBA > Devry MBA > CFA. This is specifically for ER. IB is another story.
 
Well… It’s difficult because I want to be an Investment Banking Trader Equity Research Associate MD (like Shia) - I think it sounds like the way to go is definitely Series 63 (not sure I could pass 66), as prep for Series 7 to bolster my application to Devry, I’m hoping for a Fall ‘11 admission.
Thanks for the help guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are the exit opportunities? I’ve heard of people transitioning to the buy-side after a few years in grave digging but I don’t think that’s a very typical route.

It is quite difficult from human grave digging, but pet grave digging is practically a Wonka Golden Ticket to anything high finance related. I think it’s because human grave diggers only get to network with relatives of the deceased high finance guys, whereas pet grave diggers get to network with the high finance guys themselves who have recently lost their beloved pets. Separate studies out of Princeton, Harvard, Oxford and UofP all concluded that high finance decision makers are 1,004.73% more likely to offer someone a job while attending their pet’s funeral than at any other time.

If I’ve been banned in my state from working with human corpses, do you think I can still get into this industry? I’m hoping for a gubernatorial pardon from the next administration, but I’m not optimistic. It sounds like I could really expand my network from this field.
 
The International Brotherhood of Pet Grave Diggers is very accepting of people who have had “incidents” involving human corpses and human corpses-to-be. “Incidents” with live pets are also okay, as they sometimes lead to premature pet mortalility and thus higher demand for pet grave digger services. Past “incidents” with pet corpses are a no-no though, except of course for “incidents” with pet sheep corpses or any incidents that occured in West Virginia prior to 2008.
 
I just passed the insurance exam and I am looking forward to making the big bucks and really helping my clients to protect their assets and loved ones. Maybe after this I’ll take the AAMS or CRPC designation and try to get on with a big firm like Edward Jones and have my own office. It’ll be awesome.
