I agree. The daughters of mere COOs and CFOs just isn't as fun.

As long as you're in with the old man, it doesn't matter. Chicks = dime a dozen. Cushy wealthy family business jobs = not.

Thanks for the sound advice.

Serious answer, major in something that will actually be helpful and not some bullshite that won't get you a job.

As far as the stock market, if you don't have a lot of money buy one or two stocks. Learn everything about them. What makes them tick, their tendencies, where they have been, where they have gone. No you won't be diversified and you may lose a little bit of money, but the lessons you will learn will come in handy later down the road.

Solid, on both points.

Investing in yourself by using some of your money to allow you the freedoms necessary to gratuate in business/engineering would definitely give greater expected returns than anything in the stock market.
