Is this actually worth it? I’m entering my final year for my finance undergrad, currently work at Navy Federal Credit Union but since I’m going to OSU online, I don’t really have many networking opportunities nor do I have a mentor. With the cost of WSO I’m not sure if it would even be worth it. I want to break into high finance but it has been difficult to even receive an interview through countless applications I have submitted. I’m just trying to forgive out how to break in and if there’s anything that will bring better odds to do so.

I currently am working at Navy Federal Credit Union as a service representative and have been for the last 5 years. I receive my bachelors in finance next year and am trying to decide on what to pursue next. I live in southern california, I don’t have that great of GPA because of my early years in community college (stupid immaturities). I’m trying to decide what career path I want to take and what’s next for myself. I see a lot of positions on commercial real estate finance in SoCal but I’d like to get into portfolio/investment analysis but am not sure if it’s too late for me or if it would be difficult being under qualified. The difficult part is that I also have a wife and a daughter, so it’s harder for me to take a pay cut due to my tenure at navy federal, and a lot of entry level positions in finance are starting at a lower salary. Just looking for suggestions or what I should do in my case
