Wall St. Mentors Worth The Money?

I am a year out of school now and I am working as a financial analyst at a company that is not in the financial industry. I have internship experience at a hedge fund and at Merrill Lynch in investment analysis, and that is the path I really want to go on, but I needed money so I accept the position I am in now after a couple months of not having any luck. I know the Wall St. Mentors Program isn't that expensive, but is it really worth it? I am willing to try anything to get some advice/help, but I wanted to see if anyone could give me some feed back on the program. Thanks in advance.

 

It's good. A little steep, probably too steep, but you get genuine insight that you might not be able to easily get otherwise. Most useful to ask questions you can't ask of bankers.
