<p>[QUOTE="softmentor, post: 1484357, member: 10469"]I agree that you should have a LOT of experience before taking the roll of a professional, which is what a broker is doing. By presenting yourself as a broker or offering to help someone buy or sell, you are saying you have a certain high standard of knowledge. In the coin realm that requires more than a red book and reading some chat. It requires years really; lots of reading, and the real life experience of buying and selling and trading. Remember that you may even have legal liability and could face law suits if you run into a big problem. So, the general advice of take your time to gain a LOT of knowledge seem like very wise advice.</p><p>Regarding your grammar, I also agree. Less than perfect spelling, grammar and syntax look very unprofessional. You can use a good word processing program like Microsoft Word that has grammar checking to help you with common errors. As an employer I have hired and worked well with deaf employees. One fellow I worked with was a programmer for me. He was very quick to point out MY spelling errors, and reminded me that it made me look unprofessional and uneducated. My spelling actually improved because of him. ASL was his first language too, deaf from age 2, and he had impeccable writing skills in English (and was an awesome programmer!)</p><p>You certainly know that the deaf community is a close group and can benefit from qualified help. At the same time, there have been a lot of people do them harm, too. Not doing the job well could ruin your reputation and hurt the community very quickly. If you start small, work hard at it, acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses honestly and humbly, and do a professional job, I'm imagine you could be of good service to them and make a little $ at the same time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
