Career Resources
First step, you need to be able to write well - even if you're a quant. You have a lot of spelling errors and no structure to your question. I'm not saying this to be rude or to put you down, but even if you're a math person you need to be able to communicate. I am also a math person and I had to do a writing exam before I was offered my current role.
Whether or not you will make it as a quant is hard to discern because we literally know nothing about you other than you're "very gifted in math". Traditionally quants had PhDs (so were entering finance in their late 20s+), though people are getting into the industry these days with a BS.
Georgia Tech is a decent school and quite a few firms will be open to hiring you if you're good (some places will only take MIT grads or similar, but that's them). Get high grades and get experience.
sry i typed this on my phone so i didnt have spell check, in my articles im alot more coherient. i saw you said some places will only take a mit grad or similar, how true is that? because if thats really the case i should be changing my career right now because i would litearly have no chance at getting any job. also when i said "very gifted at math" i meant i'm able to score really high on mathematics achievment tests like in the act i got a 34 in math first try ranking in the 99% of all students and that is in the range of in the low end of MIT's average admissions for act math 34-36. i really think i will be able to compete against alot of people who are planing on being quants with regards to mathematical reasoning and mathematics in general once i get into a job and im definetaly willing to put in the long hours as a quant. im just concerened as to wether i will even be able to get a job. are alot of potential quants jobless in the field? like how common is that?
i shouldnt have said gifted though, that comes off as really narcasistic
