What are the steps needed to break into private equity without a finance background?

#Investing has always been a part of my life whether it be #real-estate-investing or #stocks-investing . I went to college for #engineering but will soon be attending a top ranked #MBA program. I was hoping to learn a little bit more of how people break into the #PE field.

Should I trust in myself to be able to pay off student loans in the future with an exemplary university, or should I attend an average university on a full-ride?

A family member of mine has gone to an outstanding university ending with a great sum of debt. They also had offers from less quality universities for no debt.

In present day 2018, which is the most important factor in determining universities to attend: cost, environment, quality of education, or distance from home?

All of these factors are very important to me, yet I do not know which will outweigh the rest in the future.

When planning on what to do in college, should I continue all my hobbies from high school?

I am in choir, orchestra, Model United Nations, student government, theatre, and more, but I am not sure whether I should continue all these things in college. What should I continue and what should I quit? #college-advice #highschool

What is the best way to manage time and stray from procrastination?

I am asking this question because I am one who has poor time management. I also suffer from laziness and procrastination, thus causing me to perform mediocrely rather than brilliantly. This also makes me afraid of college due to the responsibility of self-discipline and time management. #stressed
