College student here. Soon next week, I'm going to speak with someone in a position that I have long held an interest in, in terms of its international scope and role (think high level finance, more or leas).
I've never really spoken with someone with conditions like this. I'm a college student who can market themselves well, and my talents pretty much end there (At least I'm a better generalist than all these others).
Any advice for my discussion with him? It would be a huge help. Thanks.

I think that's a bullshit question. I'd only use that with a head hunter (and even then it would show that I haven't done my DD).
I would ask what sort of qualifications are needed and what extras can help to get the job. What sort of questions are usually asked in interviews? Should I bring anything besides my resume?
If you have a meeting with a career mentor for help into getting into his field (and role), be prepared to know at the very least the vernacular.

tl;dr- Don't ask dumb ass questions that make you seem interested in the field. Do your DD about his field so you don't ask dumb questions. His time is much more valuable than yours, so don't waste it. Schmooze like a champ.

Thanks. I'm already on it and will take what you've said to heart.
