Injured Monkey

I fell out of my tree and hurt my head. But seriously,I am having major surgery soon and will be in convalescence for 2-3 months.

I recently graduated from college and have yet to land my first job. What are some things I can do when I am recovering to expand my knowledge and broaden my skill set for an analyst type of position (Hedge Fund/I-Bank)?

I read The Journal and several other publications on a daily basis. I was thinking about studying for the GMAT. Any thoughts from experienced monkeys would be appreciated.

Well I guess you could try for the CFA? But most people on WSO would probably advise against this....just a suggestion

Get well soon
