During the period of homelessness, he was driven by his fate to fight as a stock broker intership for six months-without salary and any allowances - training period. He's been through a lot of sufferings and sacrifices.

I really love the scene when he was being intervied by a couple of superiors after being arrested for without paying the parking fees. He was totally desperate and went to the office with no proper attire. He was asked by a certain employer: What can you say if I will hire a man with no shirt? and he answered: I guess he's got some nice pants. All of them laugh.

He was not confident to meet an end because only one out of twenty interns will make a cut. When Chris and his 5-year old son evicted from their rented apartment, they were forced to sleep behind the locked doors in the Metro station bathroom.
