Track 1: I get an MBA (at evening)
Pros: If i don an MBA with Finance electives, it would be a great way to make the switch to a career in finance.
Cons: Very expensive ($80000) for even good univ (I checked USC Marhsall school of business that has a MBA.PM program). for a regular cal state univ though its probably $30000 but is the degree worth it or is just worthless?

Track 2: Study for CFA level 1 then try to get a job at a financial services firm and try to work on level 2 and 3 while working there.
Pros: Ultimate certification to get if you want a career in finance. Much cheaper on personal finances too than an MBA.
Cons: Very hard to get especially if one doesnt have a background in accounting/finance. but is it impossible?
