The first answer is a good one. In the short term, get a job selling something, anything where you are working face to face with a client. Your job is to analyze the needs of the client and fulfill them with whatever product or service you are selling.
Successful stockbrokers are smart people but if you can't sell, you might as well be an accountant instead.

Watch the movie 'Pursuit of Happyness' with Will Smith - inspiring story about how Chris Gardiner was living on the streets and ended up owning his own stockbroking firm.
