This Kid Wants Help Deciding Whether Or Not To Drop Out Of College And Pursue A Career On Wall Street
Here are the essentials:
* He attends the University of Western Ontario
* His passions/goals: "I want to obtain my CFA, and open my own long/short hedge fund. I want to create wealth for people, not necessarily rich people, but for middle class people. I love trading, its one of the few things that I have had a consistent interest for 32% of my life on this planet. Whether its intraday swings, or a swing trade over the course of a few months, I enjoy it."
* He figures: "I’ll need to find a job in the finance industry and work in that industry for 4 years. After that I’ll be able to write my CFA exams and hopefully obtain the designation."
* His question: "How needed is a Undergrad degree? If you had an applicant with a CFA and no undergrad is that frown'd upon? "
