What's the best way to go in school if I want to get into hedge funds or private equities??

Question

I am a second year college student and I really planned on going to law school..is this an ok direction if I want to get involved in hedge funds and private equities?? Or should I go into another direction?

Answer 1

Start your own fund today. Perform better than anybody else. Sell your fund and strategy to a big broker. Investment bankers could care less what degrees you may have. They want to know if you can perform for the long run or if you will fall like a cheap tent when you make a bad move. And when you make a bad move how fast you get back on your feet. If you want to work for someone else you better start kissing some butts now, be ready to become some jackass' b*tch, and get a sh*t load of degrees.

Good Luck
