What's your background? Where do you come from

Alright so I'm just really curious. For all the people out there that got or is getting a job in investment banking, GS, JPM, all those big names, where do you come from? School, family, hookups, past jobs, your whole history/path in getting to your current situation.
Post away!

 

School: Hard Knocks Family: Me & the rest of the Manson Family Hookups: Emma, Hannah, Abigail, Olivia, Ashley, Samantha, Alexis, Sarah, Elizabeth, Isabella, Alyssa, Grace, Lauren, Taylor, Jessica, Brianna, Kayla, Sophia, Anna, Natalie, Victoria, Chloe, Sydney, Jasmine Past Jobs: Mechanic, Male Stripper, Priest, School Teacher, Star Wars Convention Janitor Whole History: Well this one is tougher. I started in my mothers womb about 23 years ago. I came out in the world the real son of Stephen Schwarzman and heir to his fortune. Since then it has been all sunshine and rainbows. It all ends with me sitting in my cubicle now with all MDs traveling and 0 things to do.
