I've seen this. This is why I always say there is a difference between smart people who work hard and hard working people. It takes more than your average ivy league student/intelligence to be able to come up with a convertible bond trading strategy and the idea of getting real time stock quotes via a satellite in 1986. You can make alot of money in finance by being average, which isn't a bad thing. But people like Ken Griffin...you either have it or you don't.

It also helps that he was able to raise 300k as a college freshman from family and friends. The most I'd be able to get is like $20.

"Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. In twenty years, if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house to watch the Patriots games, still workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill you. That's not a threat, that's a fact.
