Advice for the Non-Traditional Candidate

I have a friend who is in his late 20s, has a finance degree from a small school, has sporadic finance work experience but currently works in B2C sales. He’s at a crossroads and feels like he’s lost. 
 

it has me thinking, what career path is best for someone like this. Would you just accept your defeat and stay in your current industry job and make the most of it? Would you get an advanced finance degree MS or MBA and try to break into a high earning finance field? If you’re going to go back to school do you say F it and aim for the stars and try your luck at law school / med school?

I feel as tho once you get to a certain age IB is completely out of the question so it’s hard for me to recommend taking on more debt and delaying your life 2 years to get a degree to hopefully land a decent paying finance job. 
 

random thoughts but I’d be interested to hear some other perspectives
