Back to School -- Job while obtaining degree?
Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could give me somewhat of an honest answer here, and reaching out to a few staffing agencies has not worked out as of yet. First some background: I am in my late 20's, and currently work for a bank (investments) and have done so for seven years. I am back in school (finally) and obtaining my bachelors in Finance, but it won't be for another year or so. I am looking to move to an analyst position, or something in corporate finance but realize that A) The job market isn't what it used to be right now and B) Retail banking is a different animal compared to what I am looking for.
My question for anyone who may know:
Besides an unpaid internship (given my age), are there any companies that will let you work for them as you obtain your degree? I know it is a broad question, but does anyone have any insight as to how to approach these companies when applying?
Thanks for any and all answers, and look forward to hopefully helping some people out when I can as well.






I know merrill ops will pay
I know merrill ops will pay for mba, not sure about undergrad other than usual tuition reimbursement.
If the glove don't fit, you must acquit!
Thanks for your reply. Sorry
Thanks for your reply. Sorry but what do you mean by Merrill ops? Back office? I am trying to switch out of my current field (because it sucks). I just don't know what kind of companies/careers that will hire me before I get my degrees.

Well you need the Bachelors
Well you need the Bachelors first before you can get the job. If you are talking about your MBA, most F500 companies have a continuing education program but you will only be eligible after you have worked for them for X number of years.
True. I actually work for
True. I actually work for one of those companies (one of the biggest) but they actually pay very little towards school. That's the reason why I would like to just get my foot in the door with a company now, so when the MBA comes, there won't be any time restraints. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks for the response.
