I am the registration/licensing person for a securites brokerage firm. I also serve as the firm's options principal. I hate my job because as a whole, stockbrokers are crooks and what's worse, the guys in charge are crooks too.

Because: when you go to social agenicies to ask for help, they treat you like garbage or don't help you at all. Last year, I quit this same job because I hate it so much but I have two teenage boys, one who is severely and permanently handicapped and I am a single parent. 50 grand beats the hell out of 25.

Kaz (my boss) is great. That's because she's just one of us really. I think that's a good thing as it creates a relaxed working environment. But she expects you to do your job of course. I guess the negative thing would be is that she can be quite funny with you if she's stressed and under pressure. But we all get like that under those circumstances from time to time.
