Urgent: Law to Business Transition

Hello WSO,

First time on the forum. I'm in need of some timely assistance with a transition that is now consuming my ability to live. Please offer anything you can to point me in the right direction.

I was formerly enrolled as a law student on the west coast at a relatively prestigious top-20 ranked law school. After a year of mind-numbing courses and dealing with antisocial lawyers I felt chewed up and felt that the law was not for me. The pollution of the then city where I was residing also created problems for me, and on top of those were endless landlord tenant problems, roommate problems, and personal issues. Suffice to say, I decided to call it quits and dropped out of law school in 2016.

Since then I have spent up all remaining student loans and am now cashless. I also have no friends or otherwise anybody else close enough at the moment whom I can associate with who can provide a temporary shelter/housing. So essentially, I have been homeless and unemployed for the past 7 months. It was a terrible experience and I'm not even sure how I made it so far. Now I am alone and struggling to get by on a daily basis. Worst of all I am in Massachusets where there is hardly any networking opportunities, to my surprise.

Cutting to the chase, I hold a bachelors degree in biology from a prestigious top-10/top-5 university. Obviously I now have additionally experience from a top-20 law school. But these credentials have led me nowhere in terms of job search, and I am desperately in need of making new connections. To network.

I am on this forum asking for help in the possibility of re-directing my efforts to the business world. I have felt that my personality is far more suitable for business than law, for I am more collaborative than competitive and more sociable than combative. The difficulty is that I have no prior experience whatsoever with business, never having taken any type of management, finance class. Nor do I have good work experience at all--the only experience being a short part time position as a grocery clerk. Yet I have been told that with enough intellectual acumen there is the possibility of attaining a job as a financial analyst/consultant even without experience.

Financial Analyst: I am here to ask those of you in the business world how feasible the possibility of financial analyst position is, (based on my uploaded resume), and if it is within reasonable feasibility, what specific steps I need to take to accomplish this.

I also ask more generally if there are any other routes that lead to a comfortable income in the reasonably near future by way of business or any other field, based on my resume that anybody in the know can recommend.

I have tried contacting student organizations, groups, to make connections but nobody seems to resopnd. It's sad that people are becoming more and more selfish, alsmot nobody has time to assist a young man who's willing to work hard.

It has been a terrible experience as a highly educated homeless person with no money, watching as even those who have less than half my educational background live happily in comfortable wages. I am on the brink of collapse and I appreciate all your input at this difficult time period. Thank you

Best Regards, JT
