Q&A: 21 year old finance student

Ask me any question, I am a 21 year old, planning to have a career in finance. I am currently studying at a Canadian university with a focus in finance. Studying capital markets, debt markets and fixed income securities, corporate finance, economic policy, derivatives, discount modeling, financial planning, estate planning, retirement planning and income tax acts. I have learned how to use quickbooks, I have knowledge on Excel using shortcuts “Ctrl Z,C,SV”, organize data using pivot charts or YouTube. I am planning to acquire my CSC, CFP, & CFA certifications as well. Need career guidance Ask me any questions

I can't tell if you're serious or trolling at this point lmao. Might as well ask a question though...favorite excel shortcut?

What kind of steps can I take to make sure my career is as far along as yours? Maybe volunteer for the local T-ball league and make sure my extra curriculars are stout when I apply for college? Should I take that hotter bitch, Jenny, to prom in a few months or go with the less hotter Nicole and obviously get laid afterwards? Let your wisdom shine down on me.

trolling is GAY

No, you are for not asking for a picture before offering to pound him in the ass. Dude, he's a 300lb pimply mouth-breather. Have some standards, and at least ask for a photo first. I've done porn stars (Kyler Ash) and I wouldn't bring myself down to that level. I mean, back when you were CEO of Goldman you had standards, you dated my ex. (he thanks you for the VW Jetta, BTW)

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
