    Yes, used old SUVS, i didn't have bills till 18, didn't have a car or insurance till 18, and yes i opened a restaurant with the money i made in 2 years

    Born and raised here. I don't like to travel

    It's a shame I don't travel because I'd wager 97% of the stuff done locally is old school qualitative approaches and what they teach you in programs like a CFA, not new school stuff quantitatives like places in New York, London, and Asia/Pacific use, so I'm rather limited in a career.

    I've interviewed at several large o&g firms here that use quantitative research, and just LOL at their compensation offers.



    To be blunt, unless you have connections it's going to be darn near impossible for it to happen.

    Finance/commerce is soooooooooo flooded w/ people today thinking b.comm = millions in the market. More like b.comm + some designation like a CFA or FRM = slow potential.

    What most firms are looking for today are not finance degrees, but advanced degrees (preferably masters or higher) in phsyics, statistics, pure math, or actuarial science. You can teach anybody finance - it's essentially just another data set - but you can't teach people to think quantitatively. You either have it or you don't.

    If that is your area of interest, I'd recommend concentrating in statistics, especially practical modeling applications (e.g., monte carlo, regression, nonparametric), in addition to programming courses (my recommendations would be c++, perl, python, java as primaries, in addition to Excel/VBA, and then some SQL wouldn't hurt)




    First one was luck (right time, right place, right background) - they were looking for an analyst/trader and I happened to apply for general office help at the time. My background was a perfect mesh and they figured they could train me very quickly. The second was through connections and being the only person who wanted to take the job.
    intredasting

    what degree(s) do you have if you don't mind me asking?

    the part where the logic failed in your lie. you are trying to find a job while balling like crazy with 2 restaurant and day trading? no need to manage your restaurant i assume since you will say you hire someone to run it for you. that will make perfect sense for you to go out and find a full time job instead of running the restaurant yourself.

    Born and raised here. I don't like to travel

    It's a shame I don't travel because I'd wager 97% of the stuff done locally is old school qualitative approaches and what they teach you in programs like a CFA, not new school stuff quantitatives like places in New York, London, and Asia/Pacific use, so I'm rather limited in a career.

    I've interviewed at several large o&g firms here that use quantitative research, and just LOL at their compensation offers.



    To be blunt, unless you have connections it's going to be darn near impossible for it to happen.

    Finance/commerce is soooooooooo flooded w/ people today thinking b.comm = millions in the market. More like b.comm + some designation like a CFA or FRM = slow potential.

    What most firms are looking for today are not finance degrees, but advanced degrees (preferably masters or higher) in phsyics, statistics, pure math, or actuarial science. You can teach anybody finance - it's essentially just another data set - but you can't teach people to think quantitatively. You either have it or you don't.

    If that is your area of interest, I'd recommend concentrating in statistics, especially practical modeling applications (e.g., monte carlo, regression, nonparametric), in addition to programming courses (my recommendations would be c++, perl, python, java as primaries, in addition to Excel/VBA, and then some SQL wouldn't hurt)




    First one was luck (right time, right place, right background) - they were looking for an analyst/trader and I happened to apply for general office help at the time. My background was a perfect mesh and they figured they could train me very quickly. The second was through connections and being the only person who wanted to take the job.
    Agree with all of this, I am doing my final year at a top uni in the world and regret not doing a maths degree and taking hte finance subjects as my electives. Anyone can learn finance it is very simple stuff but maths on the other hand
