Some advice for a 17 year old...

So I'm interested in I-banking. I mean, I can't imagine anything more fun than an 80 hour work-week. Anyhow, my friend's uncle is a VP of the the I-banking division at GS. My friend offered to hook me up with his uncle for some discussion...

So, how should I network with him? I'd like to ask him questions about his personal experience at GS, but I also want to angle the conversation to perhaps set me up for an internship while I'm at college. This is just going to be a phone call by the way.

 

Advice for a 17-year-old:

Bang as many chicks as possible in college. Once you're working, they REALLY start looking like shit. And if you work in high finance, there are going to be a few years at the beginning of your career that are going to suck donkey balls. Big ones.

Some might think I'm being an asshole, but I wish I had an older brother to let me know what was up when I was 17.
