Why Investment Management? WHY?

I’m curious to hear what drives others to pursue a career in investment management besides money. Any takers?

Chicks.

^ So what’s the reason I’m in Investment Management then? lol

Chicks.

For many its an aspiration to be a professional scumbag… Luckily, my motives have little to do with money or a desire for achieving the above ^.

Gaining the experience and the skill set of identifying companies and individuals that create significant growth and value.

^ this is the cancer that is killing AF.

I was a rock band lead guitarist and I’m working in hedge fund (back office :D). But chicks in India don’t understand or like Rock and they prefer software engineers :(. F**k my life. Hell to CFA, I’m going for GMAT now, let’s see if the luck changes :D.

Hahaha

I guess money is the motivation for any job to a point but if you really have no interest in investments other than that I would advise you to look for another job. Life is too short to be doing something you don’t enjoy even if the money is good.

I would rather do something I hated for a short period of time and make a lot of money and retire than to do something I kind of liked for a long period of time and never be done with it.

Chicks dig guitarists where ever in the world u r. Yes, rock could have been a issue, u should have changed genre instead of ur profession. And Software Engineers are a dime a dozen in India. A lotta girls may seem to be with software engineers cos basically there are a lot of software engineers in India. d0pa Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I was a rock band lead guitarist and I’m working > in hedge fund (back office :D). > > But chicks in India don’t understand or like Rock > and they prefer software engineers :(. > F**k my life.

Maybe next time you will be able to contribute some knowledge of your perspective per the OP, a refutation of mine, or at least a little tidbit of knowledge rather than random comments as seen above. http://qc.createdebate.com/img/blog_article_images/disagreement-hierarchy.jpg

WOW, that’s so great, ya I guess I should change my Favorite genre and what about proposing the girl with strap around my neck, I never had any doubt that Indian girls have great appreciation for fakes, guess they don’t like boyfriends rather they like pets. I prefer paying up rather then playing crap. You are Indian chick for sure, no doubt about that. Holy Darwin, Bless me for GMAT.

Aspirations. That one day I shall be able to have my pick of companies to marry them with my financial empire!!! The dawn of a new age in financial alchemy. Isn’t that mad?

Hey u were the one who was worried about Indian girls preferring software engineers. I was just saying that if u would go to the extent of changing professions for finding girls, u can try changing the genre. Just a suggestion OK. Dont like it, let it be. No need to take unnecessary offense or for the attack. Best of Luck with the GMAT. d0pa Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > bhavya Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > Chicks dig guitarists where ever in the world u > r. > > Yes, rock could have been a issue, u should > have > > changed genre instead of ur profession. > > WOW, that’s so great, ya I guess I should change > my Favorite genre and what about proposing the > girl with strap around my neck, I never had any > doubt that Indian girls have great appreciation > for fakes, guess they don’t like boyfriends rather > they like pets. > > I prefer paying up rather then playing crap.
