The SEC just lowered barriers to day-trading, which Dylan Vergara predicts will flood sales jobs with desperate, broke ex-traders looking to recover losses. He lost thousands day-trading in college and sees this coming wave as potential competition, though sales remains one of the few fields AI hasn't disrupted yet.
Breaking news for salespeople. The SEC just basically said, hey, anybody can gamble their money day trading now. So sales jobs are going to get a little bit more competitive because once these people go and lose all their money, they're going to have their back against the wall and need to make it back. When I tried to day trade in college, the only thing that stopped me from losing my money faster was the fact that I can only make so many trades per week. And I did eventually lose a lot of money and I learned my lesson. Now anybody can learn that lesson faster and end up in sales. Low barrier to entry. Make a lot of money fast, no school needed. AI hasn't replaced it yet. Is this good news or bad news for us? I mean, I run a business in this space. I think it's good news for us, but you guys let me know, man. I think, I think there's going to be some more salespeople soon.
