Junior in highschool wondering abt s&t

For the past year Ive been looking into S&t as my future career path, sales most likely due to my social ability. My question is about colleges. I live in Texas and I've read that A&M, McCombs, and smu are three target schools in Texas. The one that I want to go to the most is A&M. My first question is how hard is it to land a sales job at an investment bank from A&M. My second question is, would attending my local community college for one year then transferring to a target school as a sophomore hurt my chances of getting a sales job? The reason I'd like to attend the community college is because a program at my highschool makes tuition free for two years. Anyways those are my questions and any help would be appreciated.

All of those schools place decently in Texas. That said, it means every year you maybe get like 2-3 people out of each to do an S&T role. You can also get placement inNY, but it's going to take substantially more work compared to someone at a target or semi-target school. I would also potentially look at Rice and Tulane as regional targets which might have decent FA packages.

我不建议您为单身汉做2年的员工。首先,这很难无缝进行(并非所有的学分转移,您可能仍然落后于大学同学上同一班级的同学,您的社交圈将大大较小,..等)。此外,财务招聘的空间越来越艰难。我认为,当您招募时,大二实习有可能是一种软的必要性,并且您从一所大大学获得该实习的能力将变得更加容易。

Also, I know people think of sales guys as super social schmoozy folks, but honestly, the thing that most clients want from a sales person is someone who is competent and honest. You don't need to be the world's most social person or talker to be a good salesperson, so I wouldn't pigeonhole myself to that particular role yet. I'm not saying you are, but please keep an open mind!

Texas > A&M in every aspect. School, people, nightlife, location, things to do… you name it.
