If traders get behind the counter the owners better start keeping a close eye on the till. Something tells me their will be insider trading drinks on the house among friends. Wall-streeters are all crooks.

#9, I think you mean traders should go into jobs *really* related to their original field of expertise, like RACKETEERING FOR THE MOB.

Traders should move into jobs related to their original field of expertise, like PROSTITUTION. Yesterday, fleecing unwary investors with securitized timebombs - today giving handjobs in the men's room of Grand Central.

Without so many traders to throw down serious money for drinks, who is going to employ all these newbies?

True enough. It is, though, a great way to get a laugh out of a bar owner.

The most surefire way to NOT get a bartending gig, is to tell them you went to bartending school.

^you must be too young to vote. I know a few bartenders who have when they were much younger and guess what, they actually know how to pour a scotch (18+ years), neat.
