late start but hello

Hello all,

My name is Jake. Keep it short and to the point. Got a late start getting into this. Military vet. 25 years old. Looking to get my undergrad in Econ. Want to get into investment Banking and eventually transition to private equity. Any tips on state schools that get attention or university would be great. I'm open to any school in any state. Thanks for taking the time to read this fellas.

banks love the armed forces...just get good grades, network hard (try to leverage banks' veterans programs as much as possible by looking up other vets), build your technical skills, and then you''re pretty much 100% going to get a banking job

Do not go gently into that good night
