Small liberal arts college senior deciphering Venture Capital vs Hedge Funds
So I'm a senior in the last year of my liberal arts career with a 2.9 GPA majoring in Sustainable business with little to no experience in finance and wasn't able to land an internship of interest such as Blackstone group and several other firms in my junior year. Simply because I had a horrible couple of semesters back to back prior to finishing my junior year. In summer of 2014 I completed a finance internship with my small liberal arts college but don't feel as though it challenged me enough in any way for financial modeling, quantitative analysis, etc...
However created my own business in my senior year of high school which is a concert production service, in result of tour with Lady Gaga during her monster ball tour in 2010 in the production office overseeing operation. This gave me intense management, marketing skills, with a strong background in understanding team dynamics and working in fast paced environments.
Through my collegiate years i've decided I find strong interest in Hedge Funds and Venture Capital for two different reasons. Venture Capital first for the early stage involvement with different start ups, the vast network they develop over time, and high return on investment. Hedge funds for similar reasons the high return on investments, financial modeling, responsibility to increase capital gains for investors, and financial investing at such a high level. My college's network has not been that strong over the years but I have taken initiative to network my ass off inquiring with Cornell University for the MBA program networking with alumni both on the buy and sell side, my families connections in silicon valley, also past ties with starting my entrepreneurial ventures has connected me with heavy connections. I've been mock trading utilizing online services such as tasty trade & dough! So I need some guidance before I graduate and go on to start my career. Thank you!
I can't find the question...
