it's mr. determined. that's a movie waiting to happen.

here's what he's thinking is going to happen:

He goes to work as a mailroom clerk. One day, he's delivering a letter to a half-decent trader. He notices an usual pattern developing in the numbers on the trader's screen. He tells the half-decent trader to put an order in. The trader laughs and tells him to deliver some more mail. When all the traders are gone the next day during lunch, he puts in an order based on the pattern. The firm makes several hundred mill. They promote the half-decent trader. The half-decent trader thinks that it was the mailroom clerk who did this but doesn't tell anyone. Eventually, the half-decent trader gets caught up in his lies and he confesses that it was the mailroom clerk. The mailroom clerk gets made into a prop-trader with $1 bil in trading money and he single handedly turns the company from the brink of bankruptcy to the number 1 trading house. He starts getting laid by the secretaries. Every bank wants him. He starts getting protection calls from the mob. He's a hotshot. Then, makes a gamble that goes bad. He doubles down. And down. Until, he's down quadruple of what he's made. He makes one last bet, that the NYSE would fall on a specific day. He's got his back to the wall. The NYSE has to fall otherwise, his life of fame is gone. He decides to manipulate the market. He pays off some terrorists to blow up the NYSE trading pit. The time of planned execution is close. It seems like his plan is about to work, then it happens. FBI agents bust through his office door and he's got his face pinned to the floor. The terrorists were undercover agents. He's fucked, but it was a fun ride.

Yes you may have a chance.

Yes you may have a chance. And you may have wasted a summer being a mailroom clerk.

You're better off doing something more relevant during the summer if you are in your soph year.

I wasn't sure if this was a joke or not, seems not. Man you have tunnel vision, it's not the 1950s, you can't make the leap from mailroom to boardroom anymore. How about you use your initiative, call around, offer to work for free in some brokerage or whatever and something will come up. If you want something that badly things often have a way of falling into place. Call it the big man in the sky, luck, fate or whatever, but most people who really want banking get it in the end.
