Start your own hedge fund. That is honestly the quickest way to make money.
The only trouble is finding capital. It obviously takes money to make money. You're gonna need some wealthy investors to grant you a lot of money then make big gains and take fat fee for your services. Re-invest the money you make off fees and from there on the sky is the limit
Dude, you go a super non-target and are a freshman with no knowledge of the industry. Stop making these stupid fucking money related threads and go study something or work on transferring to a school that will help give you a look at even a no name boutique. As of now your chance of becoming a millionaire is close to, if not zero. So I suggest you worry about other things.
you also won't last in the industry or be able to tolerate the work with your asinine thinking. good day.
Study CS and buy a bunch of lotto tickets.
No, seriously, that stochastically dominates most finance careers these days. Programmers (very good programmers) have been going up in value faster than folks in finance have been getting raises, and good ones can now earn $100K straight out of undergrad working 40 hours/week.
Sorry kid, all the money in this industry (as well as in tech) got made in the past two decades. If you didn't have enough money to retire after 2008, you're kinda screwed. You probably won't become a millionaire anytime soon, unless we have hyperinflation. (Actually, we may all be billionaires soon.)
You're a regular fucking ray of sunshine, bro. lol
It is depressing to me that this person is from my Alma mater. I promise not all of us are this clueless and we do have several students with a lot of talent. There were a few recent grads that went into IB both at BB and Boutiques, a few in ER, and several in trading.
I unfortunately am not one of them as I found out my senior year I wanted to work in ER, not giving me enough time to hustle hard enough to have a position lined up upon graduation. Now I am studying for CFA level 1, networking my ass off (with some success!), and doing my best to impress the people at my current position so I hopefully get a decent recommendation.
But the point is, not all of us are idiots.
Blow jobs....obviously
You should really stop making these retarded threads
Just go be an accountant already.
Go to a third world banana republic and open your own go-go bar...
Klutch, if you are really interested in finance and getting their from USF we do have a few alumni that are usually willing to help out students. Realized I may have been a bit harsh in my previous post. Although this is kind of a ridiculous question, if you are really trying to break into finance and have the determination and intelligence to do so, I should be trying to help you out, so PM me and we can talk.
Take my advice for what its worth though... I am not there yet.
this actually is a good question, because money is kind of the reason people are willing to slave 70+ hrs a week, if not 90-100 to be able to afford to send their children to college without loans, own houses, and be the main breadwinner (ie so one parent can spend more time with the kids while the other earns). If job security or lifestyle were the main concern, this would be EducationOasis or AccountingOasis.
