I'm a senior in high school and want to work in finance, if I'm not going to a target school, do I have a chance?
So I'm a senior in high school who graduates in two months and here's the deal. I decided that it would be best for me to do two years of community college then transfer to a local school (University of North Carolina at Charlotte) I get to limit expenses by doing this, I have been interested in finance for a while and genuinely have a passion for it, I know it's what I want to do and not just because I've seen wolf of wall street once and think it's all strippers and cocaine but because I enjoy learning about it. I know its hard work and I understand that these things don't happen overnight and I'm most likely going to have to get a "boiler room" job and work my way up but do I even stand a chance at working for a reputable firm if I'm not going to be attending a target school?
If you want it bad enough you’ll put in the effort required to land an offer. It might get discouraging when you get rejected for internships or no one responds to your networking emails, but if you persevere, you might just make it.
It’s a numbers game and you just need one firm to give you a chance to prove yourself
Since you will be in Charlotte, if you grind hard enough you may be able to make it into Tobin and Co.
Imagine commenting this shit on a highschooler’s post
