Dave, If you don't pass Series 7, you are summarily fired. If you can find another firm to take you on, you can take it again, but it is the Big Kahuna. You have to pass Series 63 or you can't play, but they don't fire you for failing. However, you would probably have to study at night as there is other stuff to do during work hours and it, along with the 63, have to be completed prior to sales Hell week, that lasts 3 weeks. You could probably set back the trip to the East to study, but our firm has cut out that program after my class, so that would be impossible right now. 65 isn't required unless you want to manage money, which, of course, I do. The insurance stuff, which I am taking a cram course for, isn't required, but it is recommended. I doubt if I'll ever sell a policy, but, what the hey, they are paying me to take tests. <g> The Series 3 is almost discouraged, but futures are a part of my future and I may have to take it on my own when I return from Conn. But, with 7, 63 and 3 months of "apprenticeship," you can do business. Our firm requires another 6 weeks of training before they let us out on an unsuspecting world. In truth, it doesn't matter. If I flunked one of these tests, I'd commit seppuku (sp). VBG
