I’m currently a freshman at a public university in Colorado, and want to have a career in money management. Ideally I have a dream of owning my own hedge fund(s), investment business, real estate firm…all the bases. I’m just not sure where to start.

I want to get into the money management for it seems exciting and fun to me. I’ve read up on what it’s like and what it pays. I think my biggest desire to do it however is so I can be well off financially sooner than later so I can enjoy my life…vs working all the time to make ends meet.

I’m down as a finance major, but not sure if the school I’m at would be of any help down the line since it’s not ranked anywhere.

I own my own small business that I started as a teenager in middle school and still run it part time to help pay for school. Any Colorado schools have a good rep in business/finance for what I want to do? I’d sell the business if needed, so if not in Colorado, what school(s) would you recommend?

Thanks!
Would DU (University of Denver) be a good local pick? What about CU Boulder (University of Colorado at Boulder)? Or are neither of these good enough?
