Gene: Doesn't surprise me to see you say this. What are you personally gearing for in your career or rather, obviously the bigger more important question, your life? Heart attacks, etc to be be avoided 'at all costs?' Hopefully. What are going to be alternatives for those interested/talented/inclined to enter financial fields for employment with the revolution in technology that has so dramatically impacted "traditional structures" of trading money? Banks? Bricks-and-mortars? Short-lived looks to me like. Brokerages? Will starve to death. I'm interested in your take on how you people are 'adjusting' to this new world ... seems to me as if all the finance/accounting types' days are numbered ... especially if you're midway through life careers. Technology has so dramatically impacted all of us in any career ... mine is rather simple; nothing like what you people must be facing. Again, just curious, is all. "b-i-a" ###
