New to WSO and about to start college next Fall!

Hi everyone!
My name is Nicholas Piva and I am in my senior year of high school. After high school I will be attending Bryant University in Smiths field, Rhode Island. I have always been interested in business, especially business on Wall Street. My goal is to learn as much about business as I can by reading and traveling the world before I graduate college! I have already read many success stories form this website and one day I will be posting my own. I am very happy I found this website to get a up and close perspective at business from a birds eye view. Thanks!

 

Zero gives great advice. Change your account name and picture.

Anywho, you're lucky you found this site before you entered your freshman year. There is a lot of great advice here and a lot of garbage. It's up to you to sift through what works best for you.

Also word of advice, the majority of members on this site are extremely overachieving top 1% of their classes since kindergarden so they tend to diss on Brown, Cornell, and other entry level finance jobs that don't give you 120k starting--just keep that in mind and don't drink the koolaid too much.
