Help - Career paths and responsibilities?

14.......

So what do you do? -I work for an investment banking firm. Oh okay; you are like my brother, he works for Edward Jones. -No, a college degree is required in my profession

Cross country is for geeks

Empowered Students Association sounds gay---stop doing it

3.8 as a freshman isn't that impressive, I was like 7th in my class freshman year and I had no ambition whatsoever... if I remember correctly I probably wanted to be a professional snowboarder

Advice: get good grades, read books, smoke blunts

Career path: Summer-baller, Baller, Senior Baller, Post-Baller (retirement, age 30) Lifestyle: search "la la la + jay-z" on youtube and watch the video, replace the black girls with white girls Pay: $1,000,000 base first year our of undergrad, bonus is a minimum 150% of base

Hope that helps kid...

1. Youre 14, do you really think you know what the responsibilities would be like?
2. Why do you care about salary, this is 8 years out. Enjoy living with the family. Don't get greedy just yet.
3. Who cares about a 3.8 if you cant spell "what" or "association"
4. Who cares about a 3.8 gpa from a HS freshman? College GPA is what matters.
5. What is that? a face blinking after hopefully?

You need to have fun while you're at it. Go do ivy or something and then worry about it...

Im sorry, but these posts are too common, so please excuse me if I come off as cynical.

e36M3...I doubt this is a serious question.

kid by the time you'll be out of undergrad the hedge fund world will have long been suffocated by the Obama administration, so don't even worry about it. my career advice to you: rent Chinese in 10 Minutes a Day from your local library.

There really is only one lucrative career nowadays... and it's not banking. Consider trying to get into the black market import/export business as the top dog. I hear the man running the opperation makes multiple millions under the table plus whatever he takes through legit business fronts and covers.

That is the most absurd list of cars I've ever seen...

uhh..u gotme

I won't make fun of you for being mature, kid. The number one thing you can do is work to gain acceptance at an elite university. Getting into Princeton or Harvard or Wharton won’t guarantee a HF job, but it will make it more likely. Learn what these programs want, and do what you can to make yourself a viable candidate.

Be a math warrior – Math or another quantitative major is probably the best major for someone who wants to trade.

Other than that, try to find a balance between realizing you dream and enjoying life in the interim. Make sure to fit some fun in here or there, or you’ll go crazy.

"track and field, model UN, model congress,cross country, debate team, volleyball, empowered students assosiation, chinese students assosiation."

Let me guess. you fucking SUCK at all of these things. Here's a tip: tell your striver asian parents to eat a dick, because they know nothing about what it takes to get into Bokelai or Stanford in 2008. I'm sure they made you sign up for all those clubs, but they are mistaken if they think quantity over quality is important.

• your GPA doesn't fucking matter. You probably go to a grade-inflated high school anyway. What matters is your class rank, and that you take every AP class available.
• get a 1560+, although this isn't as important as the other pieces of your app.
• take ONE or TWO of those extracurriculars (unless you can do this with more than 1 or 2), and achieve at the national or state level. Better yet, win the Intel competition. If you do that, you can basically slack off in every other area of your life and still go to a great school.

Get into Harvard or Wharton. Once you arrive on either campus, ask the people around you for advice, because they will know more than the people here.

FUCK YOU MARK KLEIN

mark klein, what a pathetic POS!

so this is where those kids come from.......

At 14 I think I still wanted to be an astronaut.

In my opinion, this is your best bet, go for it until you decide sometime in the next 8 years you have changed your mind. Grades now don't matter, but don't let the grades go down, bad trend. Take AP's, rock your SAT's (especially math) and go to a TARGET school and major in math (makes interviews easier than if you major in finance if you actually have a personality and can hold a conversation with your interviewer). Pick ONE major E.C. and get really good at whatever you do, and take a leadership role, don't just be a member of a whole list of clubs or groups.

Things may change over the next 8 years, don't get too much tunnel vision, you may find something you enjoy more.
