Charles T asked:


I am planning on going to graduate school and get my mba. I have been building and developing appartment buildings. I am thinking about changing careers and possibly going into investment banking. Is it diffiuclt to switch if you have no financial analyst expierence or previous Investment Banking analstst background. IB has alyways sounded interesting to me. But I know how difficult it is to get into. It is like a old boys club and extremely difficult now thesedays to transition into if you have no expierence or interships in from college.

I have a bachelors degree in elementary education. Without going into much more detail than that I will only say that it simply was not what I expected it to be and I am seeking other avenues of employment. I am going to graduate school this fall seeking an MBA.
Here is my question: Is it possible to move into banking and investment banking once I graduate what a masters? If so how hard is it and what can I do now to make me more marketable to the investment banking world?
I am excellent with people and have an ability to make everyone click with me very well, but I know that does not necessarily mean that I am going to be successful.
Any information you can provide would be wonderful. Thanks!

I recently started an internship for a company that offered a 401k program so I decided to get a head start on retirement and invest. However, I am entering graduate school in the fall and will no longer be with the company. Do you have to rollover your funds immediately after you leave your employer or can you wait until you start a new job before you roll them over?

I just completed graduate school a few months ago and I consolidated my student loans from undergrad and grad school and it is time to start repayment on my student loans. How many times can you defer your student loans..I consolidated them with the extended payment plan which is 30 years?
