Dark Horse

My goals that I hope to achieve through this forum are simple. To learn as much as I can about finance, network, and to set myself up to get the job I want. My bio is short. I am from a non-target (Loyola MD) with an above average GPA, but nothing eye opening. My grades do not represent my abilities and smarts in any way shape or form. When it comes to working in the real world I am just as capable and smart as anyone else who poses to be the best. What differentiates me is my interests for finance is so high that it has taken over my personal life. I want to meet and talk with people who have the same drive as I do or at least are looking for people with the hunger and desire I have for finance. To put it simply, I am a finance nerd looking to nerd out on this forum. I do this because it is fun for me just the same way it is fun for people to surf all those ridiculous videos on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. So if you find yourself in the same boat as me or can help me out please contact me and I would be glad to discuss with you in detail what I know and what I would like to know.
