Would you train him like a serious banker right from the start or let him try any job he wanted and discover banking on his own?
If you decided yes you would train him from a young age, how would you:
introduce him to the industry? help him avoid injury? coach him so that he doesn't lose interest?

Banking doesn’t need talent. Anyone can be one with the right training.
sure, anyone can 'be' a banker in the same way that anyone can 'be' a basketball player. but to be michel jordan I think that some level of pure god gifted talent is a prerequisite
Nope.
What do you think investment banking is exactly?
I don't think anyone in IB would describe their work efficiency as god given talent broseph
Came in here just to give you MS.
I'd let him be a kid and choose his own career path rather than push him into investment banking since I wouldn't try to be a terrible fucking father.
Do you actually know what IB even is? Idk how my kid would be good at like negotiating terms of a merger or syndicating debt for a buyout at a young age.

So no, I wouldn't do any of the things you mentioned lmao.
lol riiiiight
