Re: It\'s time for poker players to start putting their money to work.
Good. You are still young and haven't screwed things up yet.
#1, get great (not good, GREAT) grades. if you don't do this, it makes everything infinitely harder
#2 do everything you can to separate yourself from the rest of your class..this can take many forms, but in some ways its similar to getting into college -- "extra curricular" activities matter. So do the summers.. a LOT. You are going to be competing against all the other college grads...you have to have a story to tell about your summers that is a combination of interesting, relevant to the jobs you want, and impressive...i.e. shows your prospective employer that you will work harder and smarter than the other candidates.
#3 Get educated about your chosen fields. If in an interview you can mention you have read 100 investment books and have been investing your own money (even if its very small) for years, you are much more credible than other candidates that cannot say either.
This is a start. PM me with any other specifics.
good luck
