Is there any hope???

Hi. I'm a mid 20's male. I didn't go to college immediately after high school working meaningless jobs, and regret the decision. I'm currently a sophomore at baruch. Is there any hope for me to break into finance? If possible, I would like to be a quant some day.

Of course. Get good grades and network. Being in your mid to late 20s when you graduate isn't going to be held against you.
