Prospective Monkey Looking for Advice

I am currently a Sr in Hs, and I know that is very young to be looking at future jobs. I am more of a browser trying to figure out what I want to do for the next 40 years of my life after college. I will be heading to a top 30 liberal arts school next year (Bucknell/Colgate/Lehigh). I was wondering if anyone knows much about the recruiting for Ib, Pe, S&T summer internships from a school like this.

Another question, I have discovered that where you go to college plays a big role in future IB jobs. Do you guys think I should do my best at my current school and possibly try transferring to a school like (Gtown, Cornell, Uva)?

Thanks Guys

You have plenty of time to figure out the next 40 years!

That being said, if you're really set on pursuing a career in banking and/or capital markets then I would highly recommend that you consider transferring to a school that has a reputable business program.

The schools you mentioned are all solid choices. If you're looking for target schools (east coast) that don't fall under the "prestigious" characterization (i.e., HPY), then I would expand that list to include: Maryland, North Carolina Chapel Hill and Duke.
