The Irrelevant Investor

APRIL 5, 2019

Last week I was on a panel in front of a room full of college students. A few of them have since reached out to me asking for tips on how to get into the financial industry. Unfortunately, I'm not the best person to give this sort of advice because I experienced a lot of trouble when I was in their shoes. I'm very lucky that things worked out for me because if it wasn't for a chance encounter , I might never have gotten my foot in the door.
