Here are some comments for ya:
1) You can probably make the most amount of money before the age of 30 by becoming an ibanker. As some close seconds, traders can also make serious dough. If you are not as financially oriented, consulting may be an option. Although we consultants don't become millionares before 30, we do okay...(partners at Big 5 firms make $1M+/yr.)
2) If you are really set on ibanking, try to get into a tier 1 school. Not to discourage you though, but I went to any Ivy and it's still incredibly tough to get a good ibanking job (most people don't, and do other things.) Tons of applicants, and limited number of jobs. And even once you're in ibanking, you have to kill yourself to make it. They don't just hand out million dollar bonuses for nothing.
2) As a side note, that clown who said he turned down some ivy schools, then turned down some ibanks is either: a) a pathetic liar or b) a fucking idiot. He's probably just making the shit up buddy. Nobody can be that stupid (IBM finance is SHIT compared to ibanking.)
Btw, you're doing an incredibly smart thing by checking out the vault while still in High School (you're already a step ahead.) Wish I had the same opportunities.
Good luck! |

Turning down the 'ivy league' has turned out to be the BEST decision I've ever made. So please, keep your ignorant comments to yourself.
Also, I never said I turned down working for an I-Bank...I never pursued I-Banking due to lack of interest.
Two words for you: Reading & Comprehension.
FYI:
STUPID would have been NOT following my heart.
