To have a hell of a time throughout their four years, then graduate and miraculously get an amazing job with a starting salary of $100,000.00 a year.
Or to just live off daddy's money for the rest of time.
But for the rest of us, we're going to have to do it ourselves.
In this economy, not likely. Especially for a Fairfield student.
So I decided to seek insight into what is making money these days. I consulted the smartest businessman/ entertainer/ philosopher/ all star I know- Jeff Lobb, dad extraordinaire.
Here are his thoughts:
5 buckets...no particular order.
1. Professionals...ie people who are fortunate to be smart enough to become doctors, lawyers, dentists etc.
(These suits are horrid. If you're planning on becoming a professional I recommend consulting a stylist too).
2. Finance/banking...investment banks (JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs etc), commercial banks (citi, Bank of America etc), other financial institutions (Mastercard, mutual funds). A lot of your Wall street types.
3. Positions in sales. Every company has stuff they must sell to be successful ie Pepsi, pharmaceuticals, computers etc. Think of it as business to business selling...not retail. Pepsi being sold to big grocery chains who in turn sell it to customers.
Haha look at this guy. Looks like he loves his job.
4. A general category of people who get some "training" early in their career at companies known for training eg. Proctor and Gamble, Kraft, IBM, Pepsi, large banks etc. Receiving training early from a good company is like a good university degree...people recognize it's value. Usually a range of roles within large companies ie marketing, sales, finance, human resources etc.
5. Large technology companies IBM, Apple, Google etc. Feels like the area is growing so fast...there have to be lots of opportunities for people.
The above is just my opinion...I'm sure your friends will come up with other, equally valid ideas.
Love, Dadio. (So cute).
So there you have it. Five ways to get rich or die tryin'.
