Goldman Sachs investment bankers vs traders.?

If you have to ask how hard it is, you won't make it.

Most children think money is the answer. Money is not a proper goal. If you become responsible and honest, the most knowledgeable person in your field, money will not be a problem.

One of the most important Samurai texts ever written, by Miyamoto Musashi, “The Book of the Five Rings (1643)”, offers this advice: “Think of what is right and true. Learn to see everything accurately. Become aware of what is not obvious. Be careful even in small matters. Do not do anything useless.”

There can be no great success in life without great commitment, hard work, discipline, and the realization of the “right” type of thinking.

You can probably fit in at any job. But you can only be the best at a few jobs. Not everyone was born to be a musician or Renaissance painter. You cannot make a duck into a good runner, for example. He will only complain about the long hours and sore feet and be mediocre at best, no matter how much he learns or how hard he trains.

Your problem will be choosing the wrong vocation. There are lots of easier ways and more sure ways to make money. So what is the right vocation for you? It is the one you were made for, not the one that will make the most money. It is the one where you will excel, the one that interests you so much, that you cannot possibly learn enough. It is the one that fits with your aptitudes.

Want to find the right vocation for you? Take a free aptitude test at any major college and it will show your strengths and weaknesses. Build on your strengths; your weaknesses are for someone else to dig a rut in.
