I want to work as a prop trader, equity trader, commodities broker, stock broker, trader, hedge fund trader or analyst, then eventually i want to retire on my own money compounding… do i have to go to ivy league like top 50 school to make this happen? im not the best student i only do good at what i enjoy.. funny thing is i took a personalility test in high school 3 times it said im a perfectionaist! only 1% of the american population is.! Im not really good at anything but trading stocks and i enjoy it too its easy and fun… help!

   Nope… you just need to get a job there. A good education background helps, but I’m pretty sure it’s not essential.

   Watch “The pursuit of happiness” and/or “Wall Street.”

   I went to Penn State, not Ivy League, and I have several college friends working on Wall Street. A few of them were hired directly out of college.

   Since you have experience, you’ll have a leg up on the competition. A good education is meaningless if you are not a good worker or good learner.
