Have to take my Series 63 licensing exam at 11am tomorrow, which basically deals with rule and laws regarding securities transactions (the exam is based on the Uniform Securities Act).

Gotta get a 60% or better to keep my job, a 70% or better to pass. If I get between a 60% and 70% I get one more chance to pass in a month or I'm fired.

This shit was supposed to stop in college, now my entire livelihood rests on this fucking thing. Good news is that the two practice exams I took I got a 63% and 75% on, so hopefully I'll at least keep my job for another month.

Either way I'm getting drunk tomorrow night. Hopefully to celebrate... :(

I hope you do well. Can't believe you have to take exams like that. What exactly is your job?

I work at a company helping people with their 401k's. This exam is to get me licensed to enact Mutual Fund trades over the phone at customers' requests.

Yes, it is as terrible as it sounds and I'm planning on getting out ASAP.

You know, I worked with an mlm company which did exactly that. Insurance, mutual funds, all that fun stuff.:rolleyes: It wasn't for me because it was straight sales and I didn't have a big base of people to begin with so I was hitting the streets everyday.

Anyways, I know that company deals with that, but I'm not sure if your able to do mutual funds straight off the bat, since mlm is where your at on the totem pole which determines what you can do. Just something to keep in mind if you do get fired. I hope you pass though dude gl.

That sucks. I'm getting laid off in two weeks myself.
