Default Re: planning on switching my career to finance. how to go about it.

Take my word for it- getting hired for a half-decent job with no experience whatsoever is an utter pipe dream in this environment.

A lot of us hold that "pipe dream" as the foundation towards greatness.

Disclaimer: I am a math teacher who is also making a career shift towards finance and also has the same conundrum.

OP regardless of anything, I think your desire accompanied by action will utterly move you towards your "dream job". The key there being action. PM me if you would like to exchange thoughts as I have been researching the same for a very long time. We have similar desires but different backgrounds both considering an MBA(and its high cost) and the CFA exam. One other thing to consider is College MBA forums. I know Berkley has one that may help with some of your questions. The link escapes me at the moment.
