Accepted into OSU's SMF, what are my post-graduation career prospects given my past work experience? All help appreciated.

So I have no real experience in finance and was looking towards a program like this to actually help me break into finance. My original major was in natural science as I was planning on attending dental school (which I was accepted into but decided not to attend). My only work experience is the 3 or so years of part time tutoring I've done for Kaplan part time. Is that going to be a red flag to employers once I leave OSU's SMF program? I was really drawn to this program in particular due to its high employment rate for domestic students like myself. Thanks for any advice.
