wish i could but its saying i need more banana's.....anyways what degree are you shooting for? you pretty are just like me but a few years and books ahead of me. anything you know now you wished someone told you from the start?
At the moment, I'm planning to study business with a finance concentration and math with an OR and stat concentration. My current goal is HF or non-HFT derivatives trading so I think my double major will be sufficient preparation.
To answer your second question, I wish someone told me not to learn about finance careers before I understood financial theory. Don't start looking at positions in the industry (IBD, S&T, etc.) until you're fluent in the basics of finance.
You seem to be in extremely early stages, your questions are extremely vague and generally dont hav enaswers. Just keep reading and over time a more direct path will become clear.
yea like i said im pretty new. so what should i be asking then?
