I started reading WSO last year and it changed my life perspective. Having a brother who works at a top IB boutique and is the highest rated analyst doesn't make a career choice easy especially since I followed his footsteps since middle school.
Going to a small liberal arts college in Midwest did not expose me to driven finance students who plan to work for bulge bracket banks. It's mostly philosophy and English majors who sadly will end up working at local coffee shops and restaurants for first few years of their professional career. (I am not making it up, that's what happens with many alumni from my school)
