One day, Gardner sees the chance to for a stockbroker internship position at Dean Witter, but before he can receive pay he needs to go through six months of training with other twenty candidates. At the climax of the story, Gardner get a call from the heads of Dean Witter and they tell him that he has been excellent with his training and tomorrow will be his first day as a broker.
