Hello /biz

I'm an 18 yea old who really desire to become extremely wealthy. This past week, I've been thinking of ways to archive that goal.

One way is through stock, but I don't understand it. Could someone explain it to someone who knows jack shit about it?

Set yourself a financial goal. Your options:

1) Start a business

Very risky, but if successful you are your own boss and have a good income. Most start up businesses fail and it takes a lot of research and experience to create a successful business.


2) Go to university for medicine, dentistry, or law.

3) You won't get rich in the stock market. It's a load of bullshit. If you don't understand it you will simply lose everything. You might as well gamble.

In addition to this, if you insist on being a trader, use a practice account to toy with. However, don't fall in to the trap of getting lazy with this play money, it is a learning experience that must be met with intense research.

I agree strongly with this OP.

But I implore you, don't waste your time with being a trader. Work/study hard, enjoy the rewards in the future.

You are in the top 2% if you do either of these. Law is becoming pretty over saturated still but there is lots of earning potential.

For most people, stocks are a way to secure money that you already have.
A good bank can keep savings above the rate of inflation, but you can go a little higher by buying stable stocks.

Then there's the guys for buy volatile stocks while they're cheap, and sell when the get high. It's not worlds away from playing poker.

The easiest way to get rich is to start a business yourself, then either expand with your profits, or invest in a conservative way.

>2) Go to university for medicine, dentistry, or law.

I totally agree with the medicine and dentistry part but law is a dead field at the moment. The market is oversaturated that even graduates from top-tier institutions are having a hard time finding a full-time job.

And as the anon above said, med school is the fastest ticket to the upper class and big wealth.

This is bullshit, the majority of doctors and lawyers are not even wealthy.

read the millionare next door, You're more likely to become actually wealthy being a auctioneer, plumbing business owner, scrap yard owner, where you don't need BMWs and other status symbols

also you don't need 100ks of student debt, you just need a CC degree.

but im sure you want to be a nigger rich flashy playboy, which is the opposite of wealth

This is a recipe for becoming upper-middle class at best. Jobs and wages don't make you rich. Saving and investing is what you do to preserve wealth, not create it. You don't make millions of dollars by saving and investing unless you're a stock market genius and even then it's mostly luck

Extracurriculars don't matter for law.

There is no such thing as the top 20. There's the T14--schools with natural reach and prestige--but employment prospects are a big risk below T10. Use Law School Transparency for employment numbers, focusing on fed clerkship and biglaw scores.

Do practice tests to improve your score. Minimize debt--don't pay sticker unless its HYS.

Law student and yes.

Also keep in mind that even within the T14, law schools are somewhat regional. If you want to work biglaw in California, you're better off going to Berk than Virginia. If you want to work in D.C. or NY, it doesn't really matter which T14 you go to if you have the grades.

Getting into law school is completely a numbers game. Maximize your GPA and LSAT. LSAT is more important so take every single practice test you can find and learn why you missed what you did. The test can be beaten--once you do enough practice exams (I'm talking 10-15 at least), you'll get the hang of it.

don't listen other people, here's what you need to do:

1 - get pure maths Bsc
2 - get pure maths Msc
3 - get applied finance maths Phd
4 - become associate quant
5 - earn 500k-1M a year
6 - you're rich

Bonus 7 - if the market changes and there's no demand for quant left you can do any scientific related job (except medical ones) with maths phd.
