What Do You have to Do if you Want to Work on Wall Street?

<p>Well? Anyone know, like work on WS, and make it big, eventually speaking</p>

<p>? Thank you</p>

<p>i.e., what kind of degree, work, etc.</p>

<p>Lie cheat and steal?</p>

<p>these days, you have to be pretty masochistic</p>

<p>Be like Patrick Bateman.</p>

<ol>
<li>buy a time machine</li>
<li>start drowning kittens to prepare yourself for the emotional indifference that now comes with the job</li>
<li>practice saying the following phrase, “I’m sorry, I have to return some video tapes.”</li>
</ol>

<p>What do you want to do? Do you want to sell stock, invest, trade, lend?</p>

<p>Making it big is a great risk. Even the most well verse Wall Street Executives end up losing it all simply because of the markets instability.</p>

<p>You should try it out to see if you’re ready to handle losing money. A lot of non-wall street workers can make a small fortune over the course of time.</p>

<p>Steps to success</p>

<ol>
<li>Move to New York.</li>
<li>Take the C-line downtown.</li>
<li>Get off at Wall Street.</li>
<li>Walk like you’re important</li>
<li>Enter the first big ahma-portant-execyuhtev building you see</li>
<li>Glare at the doorman</li>
<li>Enter elevator.</li>
<li>Play your non-iPod MP3 player loudly.</li>
<li>Sing “To the left, to the left.” Preferably off-key.</li>
<li>When your floor arrives, violently push past the old constipated woman in front of you.</li>
<li>Enter the suite.</li>
<li>Glare at the secretary.</li>
<li>Remove non-iPod MP3 player</li>
<li>Find the boss.</li>
<li>Say you’ll work for free.</li>
<li>Work for free.</li>
<li>Get fired six months later</li>
<li>Work part-time as a stripper in Midtown East sans non-iPod MP3 player</li>
</ol>

<p>Vehicle, I want to be a trader or investor, not sure, but whichever makes more money. Basically, I want to be a well-known executive on Wall Street some day, making bank. What post grad study would suffice? Would law school be okay, or must you get an MBA?</p>

<p>It’s my personal belief that anyone that works on wall street is either directly, or indirectly, the spawn of Satan.</p>

<p>Go back in time a couple of years, back when Wall Street was actually a desirable career. Clown school, anyone?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I never heard of a big “Speaking” job on Wall Street.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Why Wall Street? Most big executives are not on Wall Street.</p>

<p>In any case, if that is your goal, good luck. Fame is its own reward. Hard work, leadership, and visionary skills, are what gets you to be a top executive.</p>

<p>“baller4lyfe”, if that really is your username, I can guarantee you that you my friend will never make a dime in the business of trading stocks.</p>

<p>First off there are zero degree requirements and academia isn’t relevant to the business of equities markets. That’d be too easy; it takes a much more difficult sort of education, one only a very rare individual is cut out to complete or even embark upon.</p>

<p>A trader or an investor doesn’t make more money. The only traders and investors who make money are ingenius ones, which you never will be. It is a not a game for the mentally lazy or the get rich quick adventurer- they will die poor. </p>

<p>The first step is being one of the few individuals with the ability to multiply capital successfully, which you do not appear to be. That’s step 1 out of hundreds following, and the vast majority of humans fail right there.</p>
