New To Wall Street Oasis
Hi, I am a rising Junior at Fordham University majoring in finance with a concentration in alternative investments. I thought I wanted accounting but through my experience at two internships, a Deloitte tax program, and classes I took, I realized it wasn't for me. My switch to finance was sparked by my interest in investing in stocks and love of poker. I have been playing poker seriously for 5-6 years now and have been very successful. This leads me to believe I have the appropriate skills for a career in finance. I am not sure which area of finance is most interesting to me as they all seem pretty cool in their own way. I have been advised to apply my poker skills to trading but am overwhelmed by the other choices and am not sure which direction to take. I have a 3.8 GPA and want to apply to the right junior year internships to set myself up post-graduation. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
