Do I have a chance

Hello everyone I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this but I have a question. I graduated from Penn State with a bachelors in finance and am currently going to school to get my masters in finance from Liberty and will be going to school again once that degree is completed at Arizona University to get my MBA. I currently work at Fedex Ground as a manager because I needed a job and was struggling to break into the field with just my bachelors, plus they're tuition reimbursement basically allows me to get these degrees for free. So my question will getting these degrees give me a chance at a hedge fund job or am I wasting my time?

Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”

If by Arizona university you mean UofA then no… but ASU then for sure.
