Is investment banking a good job option? I'm majoring in economics and I was wondering if I should go into investment banking or into other finance-related jobs.

Do you go to a top school? If not, don't even bother trying to get into investment banking.

Aside from IB, there are tons of options. I'm not gunna let them, you can do your own research you lazy faggot.

Get a job at McDonalds, you can take orders. That's finance right. And that's like a dank as $10 an hour.

I'm applying to LSE, Georgetown, and a couple of others. I'm probably going to LSE, would it be worth it? I know I'm a lazy fag but I just want to know if its worth it and if I should bother.

London School of Economics? You'd be able to get into banking from that school as well as from Georgetown.

Go for it if you wanna work 100 hour weeks for 2-3 years then have life on easy-mode.

London School of Economics is one of the top universities in the world and is highly competitive, if you can actually get in then yes you should fucking bother.

Don't reply, man. He's probably some 16 or 17 year old high school junior who just started looking at schools after he was motivated to get rich by watching the Wolf of Wall Street. Then he probably came on here to shitpost about it because hey, a kid can dream, right?

You're right about my age but I'm not some get rich quick and party hard idiot. I know that investment banking is difficult and the hours are hell. I just want to know if investment banking is where I should be headed in the finance sector

Don't worry about it right now. If you can actually get into the fucking schools you're talking about then you should be set no matter what you do. The London School of Economics has something like a 7% acceptance rate. Find out what interests you and pursue it, your desires will change in the time between now and when you graduate from college.
