[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]who goes to Columbia, (just finished her first year), and she is completely motivated by money and wants to go into banking. Is there anything I should be telling her she "should do" to get to that end? She went to college, she is 18 so still young.[/quote]

OP, what your daughter 'should do' is try to get an internship, summer or year-round, at any of the big name banks. From what I've heard, those are pretty hard to obtain but if she succeeds, she'll be able to see for herself what's happening inside those venerable institutions. :lol:

I know a kid who got a Wall Street job straight out of Penn and lasted about 5 years before quitting and getting a lesser-pressure gig somewhere closer to home. The hours are brutal, the pressure is intense, and yes, there are bros and their culture (and I don't think it's changing anytime soon) but the pay is also well above average for a recent graduate. You know your kid, so if you think she'll survive and thrive in that environment, more power to her!

As an alternative, banking' also involved back-office, marketing, research and other departments that might be a little less insane, but they're insane nonetheless.

Thank you, rich person. You’re a total douche. Everyone knows rich people don’t pay their share in taxes and one way they get around it is by giving to charity, aka bribing their alma maters to admit their children. F you.
