Banking And Finance Knowledge Base
Would people work in banking/finance industry more likely to success in their own investments than others? Because of their insight and knowledge of the business, investment options, and trends? Just curious. I would imagine ordinary folks may be able to be money savvy to a certain level over time but probably still no equal to the pros who breathe finance/accounting/banking work night and day. cybe's made a very interesting point. I guess "ignorant" could be a "blessing" in the investment world LOL? Perhaps the more one knows, the more confidence, the more risk one may take, and the more money one may make - or lose?
How to break into investment banking/finance? I have several years of work experience in market research and on the editorial/publishing side of a business think-tank. I've come to realize that I'm in a dead-end position and don't see myself spending further decades in market research or in a business publishing role. I'm able to network with many finance professionals among my acquaintances. I do have a business degree, but am not specialised in finance or accounting. Unfortunately, I'm probably too old to be considered for formal trainee programmes. Are there "softer" experienced hire positions within investment banks that someone with my background can realistically aim for in order to get his foot in the door? How do I pitch myself as a career-changer?
What are a few of the best schools that offer undergrad majors in finance/banking? I am looking at going into investment banking and am looking for colleges now. I am looking for something fairly reputable like Wharton or NYU but also some second choices were i to not get into those. I was also wondering if there is an advantage to actually getting an undergrad degree in finance as opposed to something like a generic business degree from somewhere like Harvard or Stanford. I'm really looking for some intermediate schools instead of all the very selective ones. I do have a 2200 SAT and 36 ACT but i really don't know how far thats going to get me in one of those schools.

A question for any Australian banking finance experts out there!? My sister and brother-in-law have a relatively small amount owing on their long standing home loan account and are debating whether or not to pay the loan out. Specifically, they are thinking it may be better to keep the loan and related mortgage documents in place in case they wish to take out another loan in future. Does this make any sense? Could it help avoid any future loan set-up costs for example? Any other likely savings or advantages?
