I need advice. I want to break in.

I'm doing a Liberal Arts degree @ a "target school" number one University in my country(3rd year in 4yr degree), want to do either finance or econ afterwards for 3 to 4 years. I'm 21 now.

I wasted 2 years slacking and got a shit GPA as a result. Working on 2 EC leadership positions in my last 2 years and

I figure, Ill get a nice GPA over the remaining 2 years , use that to get into a undergrad econ or finance program @ another varsity.

Use that 3 years to bargain for internships and summer work which will be open to me considering that I'd be doing a commerce degree. @ Boutiques, PWM, @ a newspaper anywhere.

Then Ill have something TANGIBLE to show contacts willing to help me land offers but wanting to see if I can atleast get summer work on my own first.

Is this pointless? Or something possible?

Any experts?

But that's the thing. Its too late to add a finance major. They wouldn't let me in then and they won't now. But a finished degree will serve as a bargaining tool to enter a new undergrad finance program.

I don't have the mathematical ability to breeze through science/Math/Actuarial science triple majors all in a matter of 3 years like some of these guys.

What would the downside to doing 3 to 4 more years be? If the 3 to 4 years included work experience?

Just need one shot. I can do that shit. Even if they need me to come into the office @ 3: 43 am to remove a COMMA.

Ill do it.
