What should I do

Hey guys, 

Just a clueless freshman asking for help here,

Sooo I've been investing in the stock market for a couple of years and I'm really looking to start my own hedge fund or something after I get more experienced with the ebb and flow of the market. I know that I can't start it right after graduation so I'm thinking I probably have to spend some time in an investment bank and do an MBA

The question is: what should I after graduation then? I'm really looking forward to spending a few years in a position that is actually interesting and helps me to understand stocks and the market to make me a better investor. It's obviously not the only path but seems like a lot of people have experience in IBD or S&T at BB before starting their own fund. But I heard the first few years at IBD is making presentations and stuff(sorry if I'm wrong) and Idk if S&T really give me exposure to the fundamental and accounting part of investing.

So which path do you guys think is the most helpful one that prepares me for starting my own fund?

BTW please excuse my grammar, English isn't my first language
