It will probably take you years to get to that if it turns out to be really what you want to do, so it would be good to look into more entry level careers)

Well its not completely cause I wanna be rich haha

-But what Ive kinda thought of is that War and Donations arent gonna bring 3rd world countries into the 21st century, and since I dont want to join the military anymore I figure I can help the world in a financial way...I know how "kind of" but cant really put it into words ya

Buts thats why

Haha exactly thats what I was thinking

-Because even "the best of the best" cant really succeed imediately in Investment Banking, cause with all the reseach I have done..."Experience" is valued more in the Finance Industry than the grades you made to get into these "Ivy League" schools

You are right. That is true in most careers! That is why it is so hard for many college graduates to get good jobs. It is a very difficult time in a persons life!

What I had planned to do is try and land an Internship at one of the Investment banks, cause doing that really hightens your chances of landing a job

-Im just gonna need some luck, and I hope the Interview goes exceptionally well
