What is "Hedge Funds" ??

<p>I am a high school student. A senior. I want to be a doctor, but it is possible to minor in a certain subject and become like one of those bankers or whatever. </p>

<p>Like what should you major or minor in to work in "Hedge Funds"
I dont fully understand.
Would it be possible to go on route for medical school and still have economic and networking skills to work in "Hedge Funds".... (excuse me if I don't make sense because I dont know too much about this area.)</p>

<p>So you don’t even know what a hedge fund is, but you want to “become like one of those bankers or whatever” anyway?</p>

<p>best post ever.</p>

<p>^^Wish there was a “like” button ;)</p>

<p>Cut him/ her a break. HS student…hello. How knowledgeable and articulate were you in HS?</p>

<p>To the OP, read up on it on your own and go to college and ask your professors and advisors questions. Take beginning appropriate courses for each and explore your options.</p>

<p>Hedge fund is not banking and has nothing to do with banking.
It is easier for a new grad to go into banking than a hedge fund.</p>
