Middle-Schooler looking to learn more about the industry

Hi, my name is Joe. Im an 8th grader who is interested in becoming an investment banker. I am interested in becoming one cause I really like trading stocks and I made 231% returns in February with Gamestop which I think is really good. I use Robin Hood on my iPhone to trade. I am really passionate about becoming an investment banker so I can out-invest evil companies like Citidel. I am just curious what I can do to become one. I have already started making my resume. I have put on there that I had an internship at my uncle's private eqity company last summer. I did not really do much but I came to his office for a couple of days and I hear private eqity is really good to getting into investment banks. I am really excited because options are really fun and I would love to trade stocks for my job and make a lot of money! My dad told me that I need to go to a really good college to work in an investment bank so I think my parents are trying to send me to a boarding high school which is supposed to be really good at teaching me. I think it is called Flips Andever. Is this good school for investment banking? Thank you!


Best,

Joe
