  1. Thanks for the responses. I came to the conclusion I am going to take school lightly and focusing on working and trading. The reason why is because ultimately I am going to be working for myself so what grades or degrees I have won't matter. The other reason is because I am not sure what I should be pursuing in finance, ultimately I want to invest and trade financial instruments and I am not sure just getting a degree in finance will help me do that. The reason why I am at city college is because I need to jump that hoop to get to a 4 year university.
  2. Thanks for all of the comments. My long term goal is probably not to be doing this, maybe have my own HFT, I know its not hard I'm not talking about crazy algos or anything, but having enough money to just chill. The reason why I don't want to continue with school because I know I can skip it if I read the right material instead of all of this hoop jumping. Only thing I can see paying off is furthering my math. I took an investing course thinking they would teach some technical analysis (it was even in the syllabus) and my teacher said charting was insanity and skipped it.:doh:
  3. I am knowledgeable in the area of finance, but I am still in college and not sure what to pursue. I have taken intro accounting, managerial finance, trade finance, intro finance and banking, investing and intro CIS courses at my city college. My latest semester, which ended a week ago, I took 5 of those classes in the same semester while I followed the equity and forex markets. My finance and banking teacher told me you will not learn more than you would in this class if you were to take it at Harvard, and I believe it. A lot of people had difficulty taking the class and the text covered a lot. Long story short all I have to look forward to is non finance classes at city college, I just need some advice on what should I do, should I focus on college and the markets (not going to take 5 classes again) or get a job so I can make moves in the markets.:missy:
