Farsi will serve you well…maybe not today, but certainly in a few years. But Russian is hot in the here and now.

Do not concern yourself too much with not being in a tier one school. SUNYs are highly respected in NY and that’s where all IBs are headquartered. You can be sure many alums from the SUNY system have high ranking positions in the top IBs and as such, you can be sure that they will respect your degree. You just have to maintain as high a GPA as possible and you have to be persistant and plan well in advance.

I disagree with your concern about Investment Banking being a “non-major internship”. An Econ major can make an argument for working in an IB. After all, you have courses like Financial Economics and Monetary Economics which deal with the theoretical aspects of IB. So go speak to professors and see which ones will support you. Porfessors are usually very open to suggestion…open minded chaps! hehe Tell them that you got your experience in the non-profit sector (World Bank) and that you would like to get some experience in the private sector (Investment Banks).

Anyway CEO, keep us posted on your progress.
