What's Going on guys

[Twist]

Finally somebody knows exactly how I feel haha, most people don't know a ton about finance so anytime I talk to them they are like eh idk I'd just do nursing. I think ever since the economy tanked everybody thinks finance is a awful field to get into is probably why. So idk man, if I go the finance route I would love being on wall street but then again I might like doing just more portfolio management.... So many decisions! Haha

When everyone else is steering clear, that's the best time to get in. From everything I've read getting into wallstreet is hard, very hard. If I stay finance (which I am 90% going to do) I will try to get into an ivy league school and do my MBA. Stanford is close so that is an option I would like to work with. Finance is super competitive but it's the best major if you are a business major. In order to pass the tests you have to know the material. Unlike marketing or another business major where you can graduate without actually knowing how to do things (like market products). Finding internships is proving hard though. Everyone wants experience and with only basic accounting and basic finance courses taken you aren't really prepared to do the jobs anyway. Companies seem to want interns who are more like employees just without the pay. It's all who you know right now. Great time to be in school and not looking for paid work! Keep at it bro. If you find anything helpful let me know and I will do the same.

As little as possible. :P I worked doing IT support for a few years for a couple of stock market trading companies that had several brokers and live trading desk doing anything from user support, building PC's, Servers for trading and network troubleshooting. I then worked at a server farm for a few years with over 6000 servers monitoring, building, racking, stacking, cabling and configuring servers for MS and now I'm doing exactly what I said I would NEVER do, I work mostly with routers. Everyone at the MS data center wanted to get into routers, getting their CCNA and such. Not me, I like the physical aspect of hardware, building, troubleshooting, racking, stacking etc but as fate would have it I ended up doing what I said I would never do. LOL

I like it now but dont love it. The job, work hours, pay is great and it gives me time to play here at AR.

I was never very good with computers. Right now I got this shitty problem where my class has all the assignments for microsoft access but I have a mac so I'm screwed. It's good that you have job you don't hate that pays well. That's more than most can say.
