You begin making money upon getting hired for a job! Keep in mind that your first job as a broker won't be for yourself--you will be working for a firm. They usually stick the new hires in cold-calling positions and sales positions where you sell products for commissions. During this time, you may or may not make good money immediately, as it takes time to refine your skills and get the commissions going. But you'll be working for experienced firms and have a mentor of sorts so it shouldn't be too bad. After a couple years, you could probably apply for a different job such as financial planner or maybe go into another segment of the business. You will also spend a portion of your time studying for and obtaining your series 6, 7, 63 and other trading licenses.
