Thanks for the advice Chris (both of you). I may go back to get a second degree since my company pays for schooling. What would be the right track? A finance degree? I have more interests than my brain can focus.

Michael, your best bet is to go to a school (like Leonards in Dallas).

They will teach you what you need to pass your exam. You will still need at least 3 days of self study after the school. I reccomend you study at a library, too many distractions at home.

I have been in this industry for 21 years, I am not a big fan of a series 6 license, unless you are going to limit your practice solely to mutual funds or variable life and annuities.

I have seen so many individuals starting with a 6, only to move on to a 7 later.

Your career may be well served with a 6, but if you ever change jobs, a 7 will open more doors.

Good luck, Chris (series 7, 24)

Chris,
Quick and dirty inspiration from the movie Boiler Room. I have many things that interest me and I love to learn, I'm like a sponge when it comes to different things. I was just poking at the possiblility. I just want to understand the market a little better and have some background.

Thanks for your input

Michael,

Good luck on your upcoming exam. Are you now with a brokerage firm? The good ones will provide training materials and/or instructor training. I would go ahead and get the 6 AND 63 out of the way at the same time. When I took these exams, I think I used study aides from Passtrax (or Passtrack or something like that).

Are you going to get your 7, too?

Chris.

What materials would I need to study for my Series 6? Have any of you here studied and taken the exam?
Thanks.
