Awesome, thank you for the responses. My apologies for the duplicate thread, I didn't see it in my searches.
I guess the main issue for me is getting that screen time. Can't exactly watch screens at work to get that feel. I guess I need to accept that this won't happen for me anytime soon.
The major irony is I am contracted to one of the major investment companies in the IT department. Maybe I could walk around on the trading floor and gain knowledge through osmosis.
