The film is a another scam to phyco young people into thinking that it is alright to draw low salary for an ideal.. Yet another attempt to repackage a vocation that everyone is avoiding... the engineer profession neither commands any social status nor is able to afford your family a comfortable and secure life... Why bother?? If it's so good why need to make commercial or movies to market it?? You don't see people trying to do the same for the more popular industry (eg. Bankers, doctors, lawyers, etc .... )

My broker friends who just started seem to be eating grass...not much business.
When u trade online without the broker's assistance, he/she will get a cut of your commission still.

I would say dealing is still very lucrative if one has the right connections..u just need 1 or 2 Big customers and that's enough to make more than most regular jobs.

I work in a Private Bank..and i've witnessed how just 1 single customer can make a broker rich. So to TS..aim for the sky if u wanna go this route. If not, be prepared to eat grass for the first 2 years.

Will you take up the dealer job if it paid you much lesser than what an engineer can earn?

Product Distribution Rights is usually given to a company who has the channels to help sell the product. Dealers are the shops / outlets that actually sell the product.

Distribution Rights is basically a contract between the product owner and the distributor where the product owner offers specific rights and discounts for return of certain guaranteed sales targets and services.

In short, to work for a dealer, I don't think there are specific requirements. You just need to be able to sell the stuff they are selling. Something this means knowing the product.

To become a dealer, you probably need to have a shop front and have the capital to take up certain amount of stocks for selling.

To become a distributor, you probably need to own a company and be able to commit to the sales targets requested by the product owner.
