>> I went to Penn State where I was enrolled in the Schreyer Honors College as well
as the Smeal College of Business.
I studied finance and with a minor in labor and industrial relations,
and I also went emotively towards a math minor with some statistic courses as well.
The reason was quite simply I've been enamored with finance for really most of my life.
I think my first stock club I joined was in fifth grade when I was nine or ten years old.
I took some courses that my high school offered in economics and from that point I really knew
that finance was something that was going to be of interest for me,
and specifically you know investments and the markets.
So you know when I went to college I considered engineering, I considered finance,
I considered general quantitatively oriented things, and I settled on finance
because there were, you know, good prospects and as I mentioned it was you know something
that I had personally been interested in for a long time.
