Journey to Wall Street

Hi all,

I am a Senior in high school interested in becoming a venture capitalist. I am currently thinking of doing IB then PE then going to VC (maybe a HF). I don't know that many people who have been in the business world, so I need some advice or tips in becoming successful.

 

I wouldn't normally go this far and post a PM but this is gold:

I was kidding...Just get into a good school and take it from there. Don't worry about Wall Street yet.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

There is a deeper reason why I want be a vc...it's not entirerly about the money for me, but I want to get in my futute career
