Wall Streeter with Harvard Medical Degree
Hello. I am a high school student and my dream is to work for some major bank on Wall Street. I think a Degree in Finance or MBA is mediocre and wondered if a medical degree from Harvard would be better. I would be referred to as doctor and have higher status than those guys with useless MBA degrees, there are too many of them.
So do you think my dream could become reality (if I ever get into Harvard)?
No.
Why not?
You mean like this guy? https://www.linkedin.com/in/aelbardissi/
And lol the answer is no. How would a totally unrelated degree be better?
If medical isnt good enough then what is? An MBA? There are thousands of guys with them. Unemployed and in their moms basement dreaming about becoming Gordon Gekko in 7 years and doing charts.
This right here is an excellent idea. I actually must applaud you, for a high school student, you clearly have such infinite knowledge and wisdom, far beyond anyone else your age I imagine. Must be due to a very high IQ and incredible work ethic.
Your plan is very sound, the only thing I would add is - while interviewing at these banks - make sure to let your interviewers know what you think of their "mediocre" finance degrees and MBA's, and how upon being hired, you expect a "higher status" than them. Additionally, make it abundantly clear how you expect to be "referred to as a doctor" when you introduce yourself. I would even go so far as to threaten to walk out of the interview if they have the audacity to disrespect you by using your first name or "mr" or "sir" instead of "dr" so they immediately know the level of prestige and excellence they would be gaining by hiring you.
Can’t tell whether he/she is trolling or not
With the Trump profile pic gonna have to go with a hard troll
Shhh, you're ruining the experience.
So could someone give me a real answer?
Why not do both, an MD/MBA?
You'll be a strapping young 40 years old after the residency and everything is over, plenty of time to develop a solid career.
@ConcourseB Other than the prestige of having graduated from HMS, what's the point?
Medical School would take at least 4 years; after 4 years of undergrad (assuming you get in) and that's not even including residency and other training that it takes to be a real doctor.
While you did all of that, your colleagues would have already done 2 years at a BB and then either moved on to associate, gone to business school, or moved to PE/HF.
Then, you'd have to do 2 years more at a top program for your MBA to get in as an associate while your peers might be getting ready to get promoted again.
You'd be setting yourself behind your peers both financially and career-wise. Ultimately you'd spend $200,000 on a degree you're not going to use and you'd be taking a spot at HMS from someone who actually wants to be a doctor and help people all so you could feel higher status. It's a pretty selfish and shortsighted plan if you ask me.
This is not funny at all.
So what should I do? Is there any prestigious schools I can go to? If not Medical then what? What is the best thing to do if I want to get into Wall Street?
Fucking assholes now I have like 13 shits and almost no bananas.
