I had literally zero alumni network in banking. I made it my goal to contact 10 strangers per day. My big break came when I decided I wanted to network heavily. I essentially licked stamps, surfed the web, data entry, etc. My junior and senior years I did a bunch of local internships from my schools on campus recruiting. I also had to work full time to support myself so I had a job as an overnight stocker at a big retailer from 11pm to 7am, took classes from 9am to 4pm. I got interested in banking my sophomore year but too late in the game to be on the right cycle for internship recruiting, so I missed out on any summer analyst roles. From there I transferred to the closest four year university with the thought "ok ill major in business!" with no other plan. Anyways after doing that for a few years I got mad at my boss one day, quit, and enrolled at a community college. I got a GED and worked for a landscaping company. I didn't finish high school because we got evicted when I was 16 and we couldn't find any place to stay. My dad was a substance abuser and my mom found "homes" by finding a new boyfriend to move in with. About me: I grew up in the roughest part of town nearby a big city (think Ferguson Missouri, Flatbush Brooklyn, Baltimore, Detroit, etc). I legitimately believe that WSO helped me get my career started. He added, “the Bloomberg terminals will help our students use and evaluate real-time investment data, giving them hands-on experience that they will then be able to utilize in their careers.Hello everyone, I am sharing this because Andy and Patrick said it may be useful for some younger users.
“One of my obsessions is to think about how to shape the culture of the college in ways that promote the qualities I want to instill in our students: risk-taking, a willingness to get out of your comfort zone, collaborating with people from different backgrounds, and making high-quality decisions based on real-time data,” said Paul Jarley, Ph.D., dean of the UCF College of Business Administration. It will enable students to become familiar with tools used in financial services, thereby reinforcing classroom theory, while professors can use it to further their own research. The university’s subscriptions to the Bloomberg Professional service will serve as a resource for both students and professors.
The Bloomberg Professional service, Bloomberg’s core offering, is a software platform that provides trusted real-time and historical data, market moving news and analytics to help business and financial professionals make better informed investment decisions. UCF today announced that students can now access the Bloomberg Professional service, used by more than 320,000 leading business and financial subscribers worldwide.
