My goal(I know it is really hard), is go into the finance world and then become a c-level exec at a private space company(Like blue origin and spacex). What is my best path? Would it be go into BB or Eb and then a buyout PE and then into these companies or are there other better ways. I am sorry if this question is dumb.

Idk bout any of that shit, I myself am aiming pretty high long term, but I feel like it's really good to go for ur dream (as corny as that sounds)
Shoot for the stars and all that.
Good luck
m8 you're like 17. Don't worry about this shit, way too far out. Focus on graduating, then focus on keeping your GPA up at vandy while creeping on girls. Get an IB internship and feel it out from there.
just relax, get your shit done, and make sure to keep following ur interests
When I hear this from some 20yo interviewing for an internship, I almost immediately ding them. Honestly, it just shows you’re completely clueless, and likely a major out-of-touch hardo. You don’t even know what an analyst does on a day to day basis or how you’ll feel about the work, and you don’t even have a FT offer. Never mind thinking you can predict life 5, 10, 20, or even 30 years in the future.
Priorities change, life happens, serendipity takes you different places, interests evolve. Develop a concrete skillset and interests and take it a couple years at a time. In short, chill the hell out.
yeah man way to chew out that high school kid, good job
You sound like a 14 year old who recently discovered finance (off of reddit I would guess, based on your username). Chill the fuck out, my guy. Focus on doing well in school, try to get into the best college you can. Come back when you're at least a sophomore before you start worrying about "BB or Eb".
lol I was just wondering
why private?
I am not sure, I was thinking becuz they have access to ownership in industries I am interested in
just get good gpa and involved in school. develop your social skills and have fun. recruit when recruiting comes around.
