Yes, even Warren Buffett, the world's most successful investor apprenticed to a master!
As Buffett tells it, "Benjamin Graham had been my idol ever since I read his book, The Intelligent Investor."
When Buffett learned that Graham was teaching at Columbia University he enrolled and studied under Graham. After graduating, He tried to go to work for Graham's investment firm. He reportedly even offered to work for free. After repeated rejections, he finally agreed to hire him and Buffett spent a couple of years there as an apprentice.
Buffett returned to his home in Omaha, Nebraska at age 25 and started his own investment company with an original stake of $100.00 and seven investors. Within about five years, Buffett was a multimillionaire.
