Yours truly...

Yes. I think the worst ones are the "wannabees", not the Carlo Gambino types hehe..

I've traded exchange derivs + spot fx. Currently I'm very into analysis, systems/ models. But have further plans.

Are you maths/ programming minded or more a generalist? I think big 6 accountancy is another route perhaps? I'd never personally call the markets boring. But its imp to be in the right area for your skills.

 

More of a generalist, my experience is in managing purchases and logistics..I've made some small investments myself in the stock market and had mixed results, essentially I didn't lose or gain anything. But I guess I am more interested in the analysis part. Looking at balance sheets, on-site operations, and making recommendations for investment decisions..that kinda thing.

 

Nah, it's really not like that. Haha, nothing is like in the US

You went to business school, if I remember well? Goodluck with moving to UK for school! Isn't education very expensive there though?

 

Good to know! I'd suppose its based on some soviet laws or protocols.

Thanks! I did go to business school, as a matter of fact I am finishing it this year. And well I guess its expensive , the program is gonna cost me about 10k GBP, plus another 10k i have to have in my bank account. I guess its worth it though in the long run.

 

I never thought you had the right personality type for medicine. I believe you will find law to be a much better fit.

 

Ooo that's a lot. Do you have that much?

I don't know if I should say thanks :-/

 

I don't know about the personality type needed for medicine, but I agree that you seem well suited for law.

 

Honesty is what you need right now, and that's what I gave you.

 

Then you can move to the US, marry me to expedite the process, and make some money. I'll keep your work/fun dynamic in check :2thumbsup:

 

Well I have been saving as much as I can for the past few years, so I am grateful I don't have to take any loans to pay for my education. :sunny:

 

About the personal life working with a Lawyer isn't always true.
My boyfriend's mom works for a lawyer in family law and she is a very happy, funny lady. She lives her life and makes enough money where she can pretty much do what she wants in life.

 

Yeah definitely not everyone. I just saw patterns, I was a paralegal for 3 or 4 years and worked for quite a few people. Of course it was all litigation work, which is super stressful.

 

Don't worry. Learning to trade consistently takes time - esp high freq (which is my area).

There's also corp finance, venture cap etc. Pay can be gigantic, but you need to have a real passion for the actual markets etc, IMO.

If you ever want any thoughts, give me a shout.

 

I don't want to live in the US :-/

Impressive. You'll make it for sure.

 

Childhood dreams are usually silly. Just follow your current ones.

 

I will.

 

You are really lucky to get your first degree for free and the second cheaply. Don't move anywhere else, lol! Which country do you live in, Piaf?

 

Croatia.

 

Not that you aren't worth marrying, but I was kidding

 

I know ;-)
