### Comment:
Let's pretend I am trying to accomplish the following: 
  
 Can one man, working alone and studying on his own, take and pass the **Series 7** and thus be qualified to trade securities? 
  
 Without playing this chicken/egg game, of being employed by a brokerage house FIRST? 
  


### REPLY:
No 
  
 Edit: start your own brokerage house. Become FINRA certified. Sponsor yourself.

### END.
