Is there anywhere I can buy a real degree? Like just pay for the degree directly without actually having to waste 3 years in school? Since we all know it's about having the degree and not about the what you learn.

Anybody have any experience with this?
In Europe preferably.

Yeah, they will check for your first job. After that your GPA doesn't mean shit.

I spent my college years drinking myself stupid and barely passed. Did no assignments, went to class like never, but smoked the finals and midterms which were a combined 80-90% of the final grade.

I have a gift / curse to focus under pressure.

My first employer asked me why my grades were shit when I was apparently very smart during interview (I had them cracking up in the interview with some witty banter). I told them I realized college was a system, and to beat the system all I needed to do was ace exams twice a year and spend the rest of the time networking and partying.

The HR cunt hated the answer, but my future boss thought it was hilarious. Two weeks into the job he ran into somebody who knew me from college and asked if what I said was true. Dude backed me up 100% and said I thought he (me) dropped out like every year. But the guy told my boss of some cool shit we did at college together (ski trip to Banff was bananas)

Never been asked about my GPA since. Change job 3 times over ten years. My first boss invited me to his wedding just 2 years ago. Still my best reference.

Probably your best option. Pic related.

I recommend trying online certs. Isn't college free in your socialist paradise of Europe? If I were you, I'd go to school free and motorboat mountains of Eurocleavage there while gettting actual certs and credentials you want to do. After 1-2 years of college, apply like a mad man and say you know all you need to know and want to get started on my career earlier than later. If you are as smart as you say you are, you should be able to get a entry level gig in your industry and you are off to the races.

I'd be all over free college if I had that chance. EASIEST place to get laid with high value girls ever.

Yup. I'm thinking about hitting up foreign colleges mostly. That would look good on a resume I think, and they would likely have no qualms just BS-ing a degree for the right amount of money I'm sure. Haven't gotten around to it yet though.

The past 3 years I've been out of college I've learned more about finance then people I know with a masters. The only area I'm lacking in I think is some niche theorems, some tax interactions, and some of the regulatory laws. And while I've learned that much about actual finance, I've actually learned way more about crypto too so I can scale into the new economy. College is such a fucking scam, these people pay hundreds of thousands and come back with no applicable knowledge and a couple flings to show for it.

in that case do a legitimate cert like the CFA. you either convince an employer you have the skills he needs without the degree or get a cert. faking it can ruin your chances in the future. Some people were fired years later because they lied on their resume. with global networks of degree verification it becomes easier to verify.

>> No.16875644

>>16875623
You're right, that's why I'm not too worried about finding a way to get one now. I'm aiming for my CFP first, you do need a masters to get both the CFP and CFA both though, but that's why I think just paying a foreign college for a degree would work well. Then it's not technically fake, you just didn't actually learn anything you were supposed to which doesn't even matter if you can pass the CFP anyway since that means you know it.

>> No.16875959

>>16875809
I studied everythingggg. I don't think I'm some wunderkind don't get me wrong, a solid 30% of the knowledge on those certs and tests is specifically about regulations and tax interactions which I'm sorely lacking in. I just kept reading and practicing until today where I can open up PDF's from any companies in the finance space from equity to income to banks and beyond, and read and understand the math and intention behind these documents.

I learned everything I could about the how and why behind every single security, the math behind valuing them, corporate income, reading and valuing cashflow, the entire macro playbook behind loans, credit, mortages, collatoralization, interactions between them, interest rates, intrest types, debt types, ratings, all the various tranche in debt and equity, brokers, dealers, banks. I made sure if I came across a concept I understood it, these are just the ones off the top of my head but I became comfortable with anything and everything. Because this was research on my own and not a class I made sure it was highly effective and efficient in my learning as well, at the beginning when I was sort of lost as to what was relevant to me I kept up with Kahn Academy videos and made sure if the video was 50 minutes long I knew everything about the subject in 20. It's the programming approach to learning, except substituted for finance. Programmers learn the logic and applications of their trade for 4 years so that when they go out into the real world they can efficiently google a problem they run into and understand and solve that problem quickly, I have applied that method to finance.

Universities in eu aren't "free", but tuition is rarely over 1000€, also some countries cover these expenses for 3 years when doing a bsc or for 5 years when doing a msc. The thing is getting in - some degrees like medicine have 3000 applications for 100 seats, so pretty much only the "best" get in.

You could go to Switzerland to the ETH Zürich and only pay ~650$ per semester, which is a bargain considering its in the worldwide top 10 in rankings. But you'd also have to get in and finish the degree.

I wont lie, I can't setup the the equations for either on my own, I can explain what the idea behind the equation though. They don't require it for the CFP I think though, the only models they have you solve are stuff like convex bonds, WAM, option spreads, lots of extremely similar models with extremely similar inputs. Either way I am moving quickly into the learning more of the actual models that are used in these ideas actually, and I think I will be far ahead soon enough. I actually think we've talked in SMG before, the last two weeks though I've really started to pickup calculus with the goal of learning basic stochastic calc by the end of the year from a recommendation from somebody in smg.

Your not wrong, but I do aim for applicable knowledge over fundamental knowledge as my goals. Credit risk is actually more useful to understand then some of the other concepts but only because the way rating agencies handle their definitions of risk can be very off from what some of the more fundamental models show. Zero of the people I know with masters can explain to me how a convergence in corporate credit spreads happens, but they can calculate the spread which is pretty useless in my opinion when Bloomberg does that for you already.

As for stoch calc, I haven't needed it. Most companies in the space hire people specifically to automate that aspect of data in the space for you after they've had PhD's implement a new version of their model. I feel being able to fully setup and break down black scholes will be as far as I need to go with it.

I already work as our head of research for portfolios at a wealth management fund, we oversee almost a hundred million so not huge but it's a launching pad and a sweet title for someone with no no professional reputation. I basically get to research whatever the fuck I want, and I have the upmost respect for my boss who is an extremely sharp man with both his CFP and CFA, but without a degree and not knowing how to crunch models I still run laps around him and have made us millions by bringing him the conclusions from other peoples numbers with my research. Never once have had to actually calculate out WAM but I made 4 million last year from bringing our avg duration on bond accounts up 5 years. Degrees are going to be an extremely outdated concept within the next 20 years in my opinon so I refuse to get one until they fix the schooling and accreditation system.

Yep, that's why I'm aiming for the CFP. I actually have the full CFA study set next to me right now, and it focuses almost entirely on the math and models on these ideas flipping through it quickly. The CFP is much more forgiving from what I've read and is, of course, a lot more geared towards how to plan for your clients and a lot of the ideas and concepts rather then the actual solid numbers that go into giving you those valuations and portfolios. Which makes sense, I think a series 7 and CFP is all you need to actually deal with client accounts as long as you have sponsoring agency.
