Question:
I am 23 and planning to move to NY this fall. Here are my credentials: Graduated from UC Berkeley in 2005, BA in Slavic Languages and Literature, very low GPA however, around a 2.3. Afterwards, I got a MS degree in Taxation from Golden Gate University. Ok GPA. Currently working as a Tax Accountant in a regional firm in the Bay Area, California. I've worked here for 4 months and already feel that accounting is not for me. I am just upset that the MS Tax degree cost me $20K. I am fascinated by the stock markets, and investing in general. I am contemplating a career change into something related to Hedge Funds or the like. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to transition to a finance career in hedge funds or other investment firms without any financial background, with a low undergrad GPA and a MS in Tax. What classes should I take, who should I talk to in order to build a network relationship? Any and all advice is appreciated!
Before you move get a job at a stockbroker.They will pay you salery plus commision while you get your licence. Then you'll hit the Apple as an expierenced broker.Good Luck.

best of luck and have a bright future
