Best Buy to Hedge Fund

Hi,

I work at Best Buy. I help with customer service requests and help clients find the best purchase for their needs. I know this is not a traditional path but I really enjoy investing. I’m a hard worker and willing to put in the time. Just looking for any advice. Is it possible to get a role at a hedge fund
