Dear Jarus,
I’m a 29 year graduate of Mathematics, I have a passion for stockbrokers and I wish to become a professional stockbroker. I hope it’s not too late. I am confident that I can pass all examinations in the field.
How do I go about this and what path must I follow? And what must I aim for to get easily hired?

I passed this to a member of the Jarus Eggheads, who is in a better position to advise:
OBAFEMI BAMIDELE, ACA, ACCA, ACS, CFA
To become a broker is quite easy.He only needs register with chartered Institute of stockbrokers and take their exams.After qualifying he registers with a stockbroking firm to sponsor his practical training on the stock exchange.To start the process pay a visit to their website.
There you have it Joel.
If you pass the exams, I don’t think you will struggle for too long before getting hired.

Hi,
Something tells me you are mistaking another profession within the equities space for stock brokerage. Could you quickly tell what you know about stock brokerage….Please be factual about this. Don’t do Google search, don’t ask anyone. Just write what you know.
The reason for this is for us to better guide you to what you may actually be looking for.
admitwithschola: Thanks for your assistance. Firstly, you should know i had previously researched all the roles and responsiblilites of stockbrokers before seeking for advice on jarushub. Basically, Stockbrokers act as intermediaries between buyers and sellers in a stock market.
i love the markets, i like watching the stocks move up and down, same reason i would rather watch CNBC or Bloomberg TV all day than watch anything else, and i strongly believe in investments.
Hope this helps, thank you.
