First real job ko, 1994, 4,200 basic salary plus 700 transpo allowance. Which was the norm at the time, kasi PS Bank was offering me 4k/month (Trust Banking Dept).

But prior to that, I was attending a 2-week training sa isang money market firm, prior to becoming a Sales Rep. Parang Wall Street ang dating, kala ko ala-Gordon Gekko, in Armani suits kami. Navi-visualize ko na nga sarili ko nun sa trading floor: "Buy!" "Sell!"

Tapos, during our last training day, sinabi nung Manager namin: "Go find high net worth individuals (rich!) who are willing to invest a minimumof 100k, which can be lost in a few seconds!" Kasi nga forex trading.

Before 5pm that day itself, I filed my resignation.
