Hey guys,

So I got into University of Warwick's Diploma + MSc Economics graduate program. I know this University is considered a target school for undergrad and that it is up and coming when it comes to economics.

I would like to pursue a career in Investment Banking and then go the usual path to the Buy side but in case that doesn't happen what kind of careers should I aim for that have similar pay or pay growth?

What societies/clubs should I join except finance and economics? What is the alumni like? I know the University has a great career center, is it true?

I have double citizenship EU & American if it matters.

I will reward a silver banana for thoughts, opinion, advice and other stuff.

Where do you find those "wifey" types that will stick with you forever?Since most women in clubs are just looking for one night stand/brief flings and IB girls have superiority/feminist complex. So where do you find those other wife type girls?
