What is the best way to start out in the investment industry?
Is it better to get a job at AG Edwards, Edward Jones, Merril Lynch, etc. and undergo their training program or is it better to do on-the-job training with a local independent investment firm with over 15 years experience and learn from actually doing the selling/investing/portfolio mngt in real-time.
Both with offer minimal salary consideration.

You don't mention your educational background. If you don't already have a bachelor's degree, I would strongly advise you to go that route before you start job-hunting. A bachelor's degree in economics or finance (or better yet, an MBA) would serve you very well in the financial services industry.
I personally would not work with an investment firm whose employees did not have at minimum an MBA, and when you're working with other peoples' money, it's all about trust. Having excellent credentials is a major part of earning that trust.
Good luck to you.
