Exactly how do you guys explain what you wanna do to your family members? I'm trying to hopefully, God willing, get into a BB, then PE, HF and maybe set up my own shop (best case scenario). I've had this planned for awhile and working on the networking and the grades(still in uni) for this and the other day my uncle asked me "so exactly what do you wanna do?" I tried to explain it to him but reality is him (and all family members in reality) will just assume I wanna work some shitty commercial bank job and lateral to do some corporate accounting, which is basically what anyone that does not know finance assume. I have struggles even making them understand the difference between public and private company. So any of you know how to explain your job to family members?
