I just said yes to SF, I want it anyway.
Now my boss wants to leave and take me with him to a currency trading group. He used to be an institutional currency trader for Bank One.
It started with me asking him if he would work for me down the road. In all seriousness I asked him. I don't know what I'll be doing but I can't be inert and running a business seems credible.
You'd be surprised by
1. What successful people will believe you can do
2. What you can actually do.
Its just a question of what.
What do you think I should do?
A. Go to SF and work under the director of compliance for a Broker Dealer out of Minnesota,
1. meanwhile going to school (for no reason)
2. meanwhile working on an eventual bookbinding shop, having identified a trend, particularly in McSweeney's, to use design and device for the story and not in place of it. Designing first editions for fiction that make hundred, even thousands of dollars to make, and incorporate story AND design, with wit, vision, and irony?
3. meanwhile just live life to the fullest
4. meanwhile work on an internet company my step-mother is interested in exploring, she's the one with a little money. It involves Blog consolidation, nothing new, but my plan is to include syndicated journalism and a function to have a printed copy waiting for you every morning when you wake up
B. Go to SF and take a sales position (financial planner), even though I "think" my sales skills are weak, I'd focus on the game development community since they have so much moeny and are probably pretty fun to schmooze with, I'd hope to get parent's money, and use industry contacts that I have (3 people in Hedge Funds, and my currency trading boss), and develop portfolio services for people with causes (all Cancer research companies etc..) that eventually could become mutual funds in their own right.
C. Got to Sf and just work on one of the numbered items under A with out the job thus devoting all my time.
D. Get into currency trading and and then fly out to SF later.
Anyone have any experience in any of these things?
