Since we are having a good discussion here...Can anyone tell me

1.how to get every and i mean each and every information regarding Finance industry.. Information as in the terminoligies and practices in the various fields...Like i can read WSJ because it tells regularly about good things happening in Investment Management or Hedge Funds,NO I want to know what exactly Imanagement or I banking or Operations and research fields are and what they deal with...Basically some literature which will get me thorough with every field of Financial Industry (many books, some sort of trivia book anything).....


2.Also if u check out the subjects available for AP tests we see that there are only 2 subjects Micro and Macro Economics that are sort of preparatory for a career in finance...As I originally have an intense science background will studying the prescribed tests for these(Econ) subjects put me onto the max level a person can prepare for these fields in High school....(Basically i dont care if a college gives me credit or not for the course i just want information and knowledge...as in Finance they already hire any major as long as GPA is good)...Also is it required in the first place to even know Econ in order to move to finance..Also tell me whether students interested in Finance do any other reading in High school ( I have a good 3 months ahead of me so i want to make myself at par with any high school kid who has done such courses in high school)
