Looking to Break In

Hi all -

While I've been creeping around the site for some time now, I figured I would get a quick introduction out of the way. I am from Montana and am eager to learn more about IB and all of the interesting things the users of WSO have to say. Heard about WSO from an alumni of the University I am attending and he encouraged me to explore the site because it is an invaluable resource - he was right. I now check the site regularly and have already learned quite a bit about an industry I wasn't initially keen on. I am hoping to learn more about IB and the opportunities available in the industry with the main goal of breaking in - which I've come to learn is extremely difficult and takes a large amount of perseverance.

Cheers!
