    Oh my God, "the excruciating pain of working in a warehouse + vision of one day being a PM" seems so much like my story as well. Thanks for sharing your story, it gave me a sense of confidence and motivation that my journey and sacrifices can be rewarding as well. I hope a few months down the line, I can post a similar video as well :)

    Yea I wish I worked harder too. I worked full-time throughout college and didn't do any internships. I have money from working so much but I graduated two months ago and feel stuck without the proper experience on the resume. I almost feel like it makes me look bad not having any internships as a graduate. I also don't have a 4.0 GPA and didn't go to an elite school.. I regret not networking as much but am determined to spin it positive. I worked hard but not smart... I always felt like I was ahead of classmates, but the key is to work smart and hard. I'm applying to internships now. I wish I did Junior year though... Its not always about maximizing cash when the experience pays dividends. If your in college, look for internships early because it takes time to start once you even get the role.

      I’m in a very similar position but I graduate in a year and go to a target school in the UK. I feel awful not having done an internship. And from what I’ve heard, not many firms offer internships to graduates/soon to be graduates. How have things gone for you and do you have any advice?

    • @adelineChulack
      @adelineChulack 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In no order: 1) VOO 2) QQQM 3) SCHG/VUG 4) VTI 5) SCHD/DGRO. Personally I put down 1.2m$ on few ETFs, still diversifying. it was this time last year I made my first break through with a liquid 370k. Handed it to a trader here in TX, I get weekly pay out which I put back on long term ETF's. Tesla will be a huge buy for me when the market bottoms.

    I am a finance & economics major and have been looking for internships that are remote where i can gain some experience in finance but I have no idea where to look because everywhere i look and including at my university, there are not many opportunities for people who have no graduated yet. Most internships are for graduates or final year students which i am neither. If anyone has any information that could help me please let me know. 😀🙏

      Interesting take - I feel the opposite but there certainly are arguments for both. The finance industry does have many benefits to society, a lot of which are intangible, but nevertheless, keep the world going. As for myself, I believe we should all find the role in society that maximizes our full potential. Certainly an interesting discussion to be had though.
