Thanks for the input.

I mostly meant "interesting" as "somewhat pathetic" instead of actually objectively interesting. =)

So the next logical thing for me to ask you guys, and this might be something I need to post elsewhere, but what is a guy like me supposed to do to add at least something to my resume? I've brainstormed a few ways:

  1. Find a MM where I live and try to work there in the evenings for free (I work a pretty regimented 8-4:30 schedule right now) -- this will be difficult because I live in a small city with nothing major around it and I honestly think there are 0 such institutions here
  2. Find a different financial institution and do the above; while this doesn't help "why ib?", it is at least something
  3. Take some relevant classes at the local state school here...this is expensive b/c I'm not an in-state resident yet
  4. Find some sort of finance club for adults...do these things even exist?
  5. If 5 is a negative, start one

I feel like I'm drawing at straws, what do you guys think?

Thanks.

Broski, I'm a help desk analyst. If I don't die from disinterest in my job, I'll surely die from the embarrassment associated with going to a "fancy" school and being a glorified call center rep. And before b-school I need 3 years? Yuck...
PMd you
