I first heard of IB in 10th grade when my school started offering it as an option for students who wanted a more challenging curriculum. Before that, I had no idea what it was!

I was 17 late senior year of highschool.
I was 15- after freshman year of HS when working finance internship
I was already a sophomore in college, so maybe 20?
Never even heard of this job before then. Only image I had of Wall Street was S&T and hedge funds.
18y - freshman year of college
Lol, I was in Zanzibars smoking pot on the slopes in high school. Wasn't until college when I became the boy finance-wise.
Sophomore or Junior year - something like that. "Wall Street" was always trading before that.
25
I didn't really understand what it was until sophomore year of undergrad
21
21 - Final semester of junior year. Never heard of it until I watched American Psycho (as sad as that is). Prior to that, thought the only jobs in finance was either being a financial advisor or an accountant (grew up in a very rural area, high school class size of ~ 140).
Heard of s&t and ib from the news sporadically but didn’t know what it was until sophomore or junior year of college
22 unfortunately, applying to MBAs now (age 25) to try and break in...
13-ish? Early 2000s. One of the houses on my block had a son living at home after getting laid off from the Bear Stearns TMT group during the dot com bubble.
Mom had me listening to Damadoran valuations instead of Mozart in the womb
haha that's hardcore bro
