Hi I'm Jack!

Hello, my name is Jack and I'm interested in a career in investment banking, I'm still 17 yo though. what I know about the industry comes from my interaction with local investment bankers, here in the middle east investment banking socks though, so my future career would be in somewhere else, a better place. so what other options am I considering? well medicine is a thing to me (my father is a doctor), but again I'm still young why deciding before exploring? joining this community is a part of my exploring, and it could be helpful to me in the future in case I chose this "life path". where am I going to college? not local ones no! (unless I was forced to, which means my future options in IB are none to zero). since my parents would not fund my college (college here is free, why spend money on it then parents mentality) I only have a few countries as options, Germany would be perfect for me, free college, good chances for non-eu students in getting accepted, as long as my highschool grades are good, and my German language proficiency is fine, I gotta hell of a chance. I think that's all... for now at least. give me your insights if you have any.
