How Should I proceed?

Hey everyone!

I'm pretty new here, but I've been reading around here for a while. I run my own internet based business and have been doing so for over 7 years making pretty decent money, but over the last year I find myself reading a lot about finance. I spend a lot of spare time on investopia and on WSO. I also google a lot of finance related discussion and topics. My question is what can I do to get involved with a finance based career at this point? What would be a good start for me? Thanks all!

 

Hey Twothornes,

Thanks for the reply! I do have a degree in Business Information Systems from a few years back. I did not go to a targeted school nor did I get a high GPA (3.17). I'm not looking for something that the big guys are doing since I dont think i have enough knowledge or experience for that. Just a way to get started.
