Investment banking is a good career.

Hi everybody,

I think investment banking can be a great career or a great start to our career. It's very intense and not for everybody, but it gives you are amazing experience for almost any type of business career. Accounting is a good base to have for investment banking, as well as finance, but be sure to study several businesses disciplines so that you're well-rounded. The entry-level position for investment banking is an Analyst.

Thanks and Regards Sean Kingston

hahaha thank you for reiterating the happy version of what most people think. IB isn't the only way to go to have a great life.

 

wow. thanks. And how does one go about entering this career you talk about? You know what would be cool? If there was some sort of forum or place where people can chat on topics about this career you mention.

 

I've been working my sophomore year and Junior year 15-20 hours a week with 16-18 credits per semester. And I tell you its no cake, I have a 3.5 which i consider decent for a student whos paying somewhat for his own college. It becomes hard to be social and chill with college friends and your going be mad tired and i commute for and hour and half. But it will make you great with time management and good mlulti-tasker..

 
makeyourownluckinsightful...is this post crashing the jetski into the bridge in MIA Sean Kingston?

damn I was abouta make a joke about this.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.

Well, you're a tight end first. Then they turn you into a wide receiver...
