I recently graduated from college with a bachelor in aviation and business administration, and I am having a hard time finding a job. I think because of the instability of the aviation industry, but all the jobs i find require 2-5 years of experience. Experience that I currently do not have. Now I'm more confused than ever about my career. I don't know what to do? I thought about getting involved in a stock broker trainee program, but I don't know exactly on how to get into that (I took 2 accounting courses, finance, and management courses in college). Does anyone know of a stock broker trainee program in Chicago.
