how to have 10,000,000$ ?

Hi! 

I'm a french student and I would be graduated in 2024 from a semi-target school.

I really don't know, what job is good for me...

I think the most important to me is to have 10,000,000 $ to enjoy my life. What will be the most effective (with very low risk of failure) way to have it ? And how long it will be ? 

I don't really understand why everybody what to go m&a which is a job that has a low hourly? Why people aren't enjoyed by sales, trading, and stuff like that, that has a higher hourly and could make them rich as fuck? And the job seems really funnier than PowerPoint

Does IB, in general, have a better future than sales&trading? One of my professors told me that due to new regulation S&T are going to disappear, is that sounds true for you?

I really hope that university will improve your attitude towards life. First of all, the Finance world isn't the Wolf of Wall Street, keep that in mind. Secondly, reading some books about successful people (Buffett, Jobs, Bezos, ...) they became successful AND rich (you're asking about the $10M goal) as a consequence. Money wasn't their goal. They enjoyed the voyage and wanted to do / change something and as a consequence they became rich. Last but not least, if your first goal is to get a Ferrari, you don't know the basic difference between an asset and a liability...study and work hard, set some life goals and then with resilience and attitude PERHAPS you'll become rich. Working in a big company as an employee means that the stairs to success are difficult to climb and that sometimes other people will decide the rules to climb this ladder. That's why many shift to more "entrepreneurial" jobs in order to do things that they are more passionate about and as a consequence, sometimes, they'll get more money too.
