My Best Path?

My goal(I know it is really hard), is go into the finance world and then become a c-level exec at a private space company(Like blue origin and spacex). What is my best path? Would it be go into BB or Eb and then a buyout PE and then into these companies or are there other better ways. I am sorry if this question is dumb.

 

When I hear this from some 20yo interviewing for an internship, I almost immediately ding them. Honestly, it just shows you’re completely clueless, and likely a major out-of-touch hardo. You don’t even know what an analyst does on a day to day basis or how you’ll feel about the work, and you don’t even have a FT offer. Never mind thinking you can predict life 5, 10, 20, or even 30 years in the future. 
 

Priorities change, life happens, serendipity takes you different places, interests evolve. Develop a concrete skillset and interests and take it a couple years at a time. In short, chill the hell out.
