Slightly older graduate, any consequences?
Hi,
I am doing a bachelor's right now and am most likely graduating in 2.5 years, by then I will be 26 years old. There were 2 years during which due to serious personal problems I had to cancel semesters and/or take fewer classes per, and also a time where I was a bit unsure of what I wanted to do in life and school which slowed down my academic progress.
Is this a problem at all? Right now I'm set on finance, I like it. I'll be trying to find internships but have no work experience right now except my part-time retail job I have to pay tuition. I want to eventually get to work in trading/hedge funds/some type of slightly math-y work.
Doing a master's is something which would also interest me if I could get into a good school. I'm in Canada and not in a target, so if I could get into a good school's MFin or MFE program I guess that would help.
Anyway, is there anything I should expect coming from my situation?
Thank you.
not really a problem
unless you look much older ofc..
if you make a good cv, they wont even have an idea they only see the timeline that you put over there, and they are not allowed to ask you about your age at least not in formal situation
Not a problem, if it makes u feel any better, search up this sherjan husainie guy (he hosted a speaking event at our school once) who went into MS IBD with pretty much your background. he was 26 also.
You start work at an older age.
Not an issue if you don't make it an issue.
You won't make VP by 30, but other than that...
