The Earning Capacity Of A Don’t Sell
Stockbroker
America
Short On
July Fourth
Did you know that a National
Survey indicates that stockbrokers
consistendy earn one of the highest
salaries in the country.
You can become a part of this
high income profession. It does not
make any difference what university
you have earned your undergraduate
degree from. In fact a degree of any
kind is not required by law in order for
you to take the series 7 broker exami
nation. However, it would be to your
advantage if you have a degree.
The first step in becoming a li
censed sto ck
broker is to pre
pare yourself by
taking a series of
7 sto ckb ro k er
courses. These
courses are not
very d iffic u lt
and they only
cost you $350 to $400 dollars to take.
Once you complete these courses, then
you are ready to take the National
Association of Securities Dealer Ex
amination. When you pass this ex
amination you will receive your li
cense as a registered representative.
You can then become employed by a
broker dealer as a stockbroker.
After you become licensed to
practice, you can practice this profes
sion in any state without having to
take another examination unlike at
torneys or real estate brokers who
would most likely be required to re
new their license in order to practice
in another state.
If you have ever wanted to be
come one of the “movers and shak
ers” in this country, this course and
examination is what you should focus
on.

Metro Receives
National Award
For Most Livable
Community
Metro Council Presiding Officer
Judy Wyers and Councilor Sandi
Hansen today received an award in
Washington, D.C., on behalf of the
regional government for creating a
community that is among thecountry *s
most livable.
Partners for Livable Communi
ties, a nonprofit international net
work of more than 1,000 organiza
tions and city governments, honored
the Portland metropolitan region dur
ing Thursday’s day-long event. The
day included an award luncheon at
the National Press Club and a con
gressional reception on Capitol Hill.
The Portland region was among
16 cities and counties selected for
initiative in addressing community
problems and improving the quality
of life for residents. The region was
selected for the effectiveness of Metro,
the country’s only directly elected
regional government The Partners
for Livable Communities names liv
able communities once every decade.
“This award is an important rec
ognition for our region because it
takes into account all the factors that
make a community vibrant, success
ful and livable,” said Wyers. “Even
more remarkable is that an agency as
young as Metro has done so much to
create one of the best regions in the
United States. This is the entire
region’sawardbecausetherearemany
local governments, businesses, orga-
nizations and citizens who work to-
gether to make this region special,”
she said. “Thecouncil is very honored
to be recognized with this award.”
Wyers and Hansen also met with
members and staff of Oregon’s Con-
gressional delegation during the trip
to Washington, D.C.

,,
present situation. If we follow the
politicians, special interest groups
and the new s m edia we could be
convinced that A m erica is sliding
into oblivion.
H ere are som e o f their bleak
snapshots:
• A recent survey o f our crim i
nal ju st system show ed the a v e r
age convicted m urderer serves
only 16 years in prison. The av e r
age sentence for rape is 60 days
and the average crim in al co m
m its 1 8 6 c r im e s b e f o r e th e
p e rs o n 's first conviction.
• On o th er fronts, A m erica’s
students a re n ’t keeping up w ith
th e ir c o u n te rp a rts w o rld w id e .
A m erican technology has been
surpassed by Japan and C entral
E urope. O ur health care is in ad
equate and unavailable to those
who need it most. A m erican w ork
ers a re n ’t productive and quality
is below w orld standards.
If we listen only to these sen-
sational stories, it can becom e
p retty d epressing. F o rtu n ately ,
the facts d o n ’t support all this
gloom and doom .
The U nited States continues
to be the w o rld ’s largest p roducer
o f goods and services - 66 percent
m ore than Japan and equal to all
the E uropean nations com bined.
A m erican w orkers still have the
hig h est o utput per person. O ur
unem ploym ent is currently one of
the low est of any nation. And our
econom y is the h ealth iest in the
w o rld . Ja p a n , G erm any G re at
B ritain , C anada, and others are
in recession.
C oncern o v er health care has
skyrocketed since the Clinton took
office. B ut the fact is A m erican
health care is the envy o f the
w orld. W e spend 14 percent o f
our n a tio n ’s econom y on health
care. C anada and Sw eden spend
only 9 percent, Japan 7 percent,
and G reat B ritain only 6 p ercent
on health care.
A g r e a te r p e r c e n ta g e o f
A m erican children are in school
than in any o th er nation. Foreign
leaders and those o f m eans send
their children to be educated here.
W e still have much o f which
we can be proud. W e w ill not
stand idle and w atch our nation
be sold out by those who con
stantly tell us how badly w e’ve
m essed up. T his July 4th, take
tim e to rem em ber the heritage o f
fam ily unity and traditional v al
ues that have m ade A m erica great.
P erpetuate these values in your
f a m ily a n d c o m m u n ity an d
A m erica w ill continue to be the
greatest place to live in the world.
