EDUCATION AND EARLY CAREER

After graduating high school Warren Buffett enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania in 1947, and more specifically the Wharton School of Business. However, after two years of studies he became convinced that most lecturers knew less about finance than he did. This made him return back home to Omaha where he obtained Bachelor of Science in Economics from University of Nebraska. During those years he got acquainted with the works of Benjamin Graham by reading “The Intelligent Investor”. This classic book influenced him so much that he became determined to study under Graham and he did so. Warren left home to move to New York where he graduated Columbia University with a Master in Business in 1951. During those years Graham and Buffett formed a bond between each other that would last for decades and would determine the investment philosophy of Warren once and forever.
