JazzyUSMC Introduction

Hello all,

I am a Marine Corp veteran with five years of honorable service, and currently a senior studying Economics at UC Davis. During my time in academia, I have fallen in love with Finance and Investing. Currently, I am interning in the Morgan Stanley Financial Training Program, taught by the Senior VP of Global Wealth, Jeffery Won. I can definitely see myself spending the rest of my life in this type of career.

I wake up every morning, and read the latest articles from the WSJ and Barrons. As well, I actively trade on in my interns Investopedia game. With my own money, I trade options.

I was informed recently that I will be able to graduate at the end of Spring 2017, as oppose to Dec. as I originally thought. So now I'm sort of panicking. I was planning on doing another internship to line myself up with a job, hopefully. But if I graduate in Spring, then I have to start searching for entry level jobs.

Hope to learn some things here, and will be making use of the search function, and asking questions I cannot find answers to.
