Brief Intro & Thanks

Hey everyone,

Firstly, thanks to everyone for the mountains of relevant information, this has been a go to for not just information, but motivation as well.

No way a model candidate for but heres a brief anyway. In my last year of undergraduate (BA) studies and studying for the CFA exam. 26 years of age (already) but with varied work experience in FX, marketing, and sales. I've lived/worked/studied in New York, Johannesburg, Prague and a bunch of other places until finally deciding what it is I want to do.

I realized it isn't really what I want to do thats important but being in an environment thats stimulating and with people who are driven and curious, finance seems to be that and I can thank WSO for helping be reinforce my initial hunch.

Anyway, thanks for pulling through if you read the whole thing.

Cheers
