Any fellow non-targets here pursuing the CFA designation to try and break into... something?

Sup, 

The title says almost everything. Just wondering if there are any fellow non-targets here that are pursuing the CFA designation to try and break into anything interesting. Background: Currently a back office analyst at a large Fixed Income shop. Bachelors in math from a non-target, CFA level 3 candidate. Would be cool to see if anyone here is in the same situation as me. 

Thx,
