Consulting, IB, PE, VC, Prop Trading as a 32 year old first time graduate.
So, long story short, I started attending college for the 1st time at 30 years old. I'm doing well and I just finished my first semester after transferring to (UT Austin McCombs, A&M Mays, Stanford). With transfer credit I'm sitting right at ~3.6-3.8, it should stick around that level until I graduate. From 20 years old to 30 I worked full time at a major retailer (Sam's Club, Costco, Target) and I started as as a part time associate and worked my up to a co-manager position, earning a solid salary. Unfortunately, the work was soul sucking so I decided to get my degree. I'm currently interning at a small healthcare private equity firm in my city and I love the work.
I've been day trading in my free time for 2 years now, maybe 1-3 days a week for a couple hours at a time, and I'm making more than I ever earned working full time. I know I don't have the aptitude for HFT or quantitative prop firms, so discretionary firms are more my angle (Trillium, FNYS, etc)
How likely is it that I can break into the above mentioned industries as a 32 year old first time graduate. I'm a URM first gen if that matters. Would I need to get an MBA to have a realistic shot?
kenneth.chewks, sorry there are no responses yet. Maybe one of these topics can point you in the right direction:
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
