Greetings From Minnesota

Hey there. I just found out about this site from another forum I'm on.

I'm up in northern Minnesota. I'm a senior at the University of Minnesota-Duluth doing a double-major in Accounting and Finance. After that I'm hoping to land a job in the Houston area.

No I'm not currently trading.

Right now my current courseload includes:
-Financial Mkts/Institutions
-Managerial Finance
-Investment Fundamentals
and Portfolio mgmt, along with two courses for my Accounting degree.


I'm selling my father's house soon, and will be investing some of that to keep as the down payment on a house (probably aroun 15K). I'll be meeting with my Portfolio Mgmt professor, as he was the CFO for Allete, Inc. to help devise a few strategies.

When I do go in, I was thinking about going with Scottrade to dip my toes in the water.

I'm keeping all my options open. With the two degrees I should be set for a wide array of careers. I'm looking at anything and everything. I have a few applications for internships out, but haven't heard back from anything yet. I was going to start making a few cold calls here in the next week or so, because I'm already going down to Houston anyways for spring break.

I have an application up on Monster but the only company I've heard back from for an actual career job is from Bankers Life & Casualty. I did some research on them and was not impressed with what I read, so I passed on an interview.

My cousin's husband currently does energy trading up here in Minnesota and he's looking at going to Houston, so I was considering maybe riding his coattails
