Intro - Pursuing an MBA

Hi all,

My name is Brian and I have been lurking on this site for a while. Havig learned a few things, I decided to sign up. About me in a nut shell, I am a veteran (Marine), am currently contracting and pursuing an MBA. I have a newly found interest in finance due to exposure in coursework. While it may be relatively easy to stack up all kinds of acronyms next to your name, my network sucks and I have no idea about many of the nuances of the financial services industry; I have found that WSO tends to help with the latter. I look forward to learning from all of you and hopefuly in the future will be in a position to contribute and give back. I tend to search before I ask stupid questions so there is no need for a long intro as a large number of initial questions were easy to answer by searching. Have a good one.

- B
