Respected on Wall Street/Finance Jobs?

<p>Dont go to a college based on what you “think” you want to be when you grow up. W&M is a LAC which will force you to read, write and think. You can take those skills anywhere and do anything after graduation. If I had a penny for evry pre-law/pre-med/pre Wall St that changed their mind later, I would have become a wealthy man much sooner.</p>

<p>The odds of you, as an 18 yo, knowing what you want to do with your life at 22 or 25 or 45 is slim to none. Here’s the good news; thats ok. You dont have to know. Life is a journey and you need to enjoy every step of it. ESP the four years of college. If W&M suits you than go. If you dont like it go somewhere else. You will get a job, no matter where you go based on how well you do in classes and who you are as a person. not whether your diploma says G’town or W&M.</p>

<p>Disclosure: I work for a Wall St firm,get paid more than I desrve, and wish I had majored in History as opposed to Finance. i would be evn better at my job than I am now.</p>
