@leland.pe: obsession beats talent every time. this michigan student literally lived in the trading center between classes, skipping classes to read WSJ and build models. treated investing like his sport, not just his major. landed blackstone straight out of college because he was genuinely obsessed. moral of the story: if you want to break into finance, you gotta eat sleep breathe it 24/7. half measures don't cut it in this game #finance #blackstone #investing #careertips #collegefinance #privateequity
