This is going to be a special topic (Highschool Junior)
I've been lurking on these forums for a while now, and I finally decided to make an account even though I'm very out of place. I'm currently a high school Junior in an International School in Zurich,Switzerland. Yes, I reside in the secret banking capital of the world and my dad hides Nazi gold under his bed. I do sincerely hope however, that people read this and take me seriously even though I'm (relatively) young in this forum.
My future goal is to get into Investment Banking, and maybe later on Private Equity (well yes it's because you make a lot of money, but also because I have an innate nack for business and I really enjoy finance... if that sounds right).
I'm currently pursuing the IB Diploma (IB is NOT Investment Banking lol its International Baccalaureate; google is your friend if you're not familiar with this) and my 6 (you can only take 6) courses are:
- HL Math
- HL Economics
- HL Chemistry
- SL English A Lang & Lit
- SL Physics
- SL Physics
I'm really reaching for a target school in the U.S. I haven't given the SAT yet (taking it this October), but I am really trying for a top 20 college (Ivy League + colleges like Vanderbilt).
So now onto my question... My intended major is Engineering, something with Robotics and AI. So I was wondering if this is suitable to break into Investment Banking if I minor in Finance/Economics (should I minor in Finance or Economics?)?
Thanks in advance, sorry for long post, and sorry for having a highschool invade this forum. Happy... whatever it is you do.
