    People skills, computer skills, geography skills, be able to multitask, etc. Training, I wouldn't pay someone to train me to do that job, get a job working for a brokerage and let them pay you, to train you.

    Ok..................at risk of making some people upset..........you say you are in China. WHY are you so #### curious and asking all these questions?? If you wanna get in the brokerage game (in the US).....relocation and a change of citizenship had better be part of your plan.

    You are not going to get set up in biz to broker freight IN THE U.S. while sitting in China.
