I have worked in banking for fifteen years and enjoy it.  Many of clients are so impressed with my financial knowledge that they ask where I went to school.  Although I graduated from the University of Florida, I tell them I got my education in Palm Beach, because that is mostly true.  My father was an attorney who moved us to Palm Beach County because many of his clients were there.  Some became his friends and I often listened to their fascinating discussions about things like asset management in switzerland, interest rates, and the markets.  Before I took my first college course I already had an impressive education.
