23 y/o freshman
嘿，大家怎么样？
Long time reader of the forum. Allow me to present some of my background to you all. I'm 23 in the Fall this year, and I have no real college experience. I went to community for theatre for a few semesters, accrued $5k in debt, and then went back to the workforce. I've been working full-time hours since I was 16, and I've accumulated a lot of skills from Microsoft Suite mastery, email, customer service, etc. in that timeframe just from every form of customer service you can name. I just received a certificate from a UX Design Bootcamp.
However, my dream was to always be either a corporate lawyer in BigLaw, a StrategyConsultant atMBB, or an Investment Banker at a bulge bracket bank. I'd start with community again before transferring to Michigan. I'm wondering, due to my financial situation, my lack of experience, and my age, is pursuing any of those careers (Mgmt Consulting in particular) a reasonable and realistic goal at this point? 4 years from now, I'll be 27. 3 years of experience and then another2 forMBAlater I'll be 31. Will that be frowned upon, and potentially ruin any serious career chances? Will my skills in data analysis, Microsoft, and user research be transferable enough? Alternatively, could I make the same kind of money as a UX researcher? Or perhaps, transfer positions internally?
Curious to know your thoughts. Thank you.
tldr;在24岁和2年的社区中从事声望职业是否值得？

> due to my financial situation
Nobody will care about your financial situation
> my lack of experience
Think of yourself as a freshman and do the types of things a freshman at Michigan would do to get a job in consulting upon graduation (join consulting club, leadership positions in other clubs, good GPA, get internships, etc)
> 3 years of experience and then another 2 forMBAlater I'll be 31
You don't need anMBAforIBor consulting. Focus on getting the job out of undergrad
When I said financial situation, I was referring to the two years of community that'd be on my resume. But I've heard that they go by last degree, is this true?
Good advice, though. Thank you. Even at 27, you think it'd be worth it?
招募您的简历上的任何东西都可以通过20xx的密歇根州班级招募。如果您对此感到不安全，请将CC脱离您的简历
我无法回答是否值得，因为我不知道您的价值观和偏好，但请理解，要换取高薪和相对较快的职业发展，您将在很长的压力下工作
Ok but what do you actually want to do?
Law, consulting, banking, and UX research are 4 completely different paths. Are you optimizing for money? Interest? Impact?
Nobody else will care much that you're a few years older. If anything, a few years of life experience is valuable. You'll just want to be more cautious about timing--do you want to make seven digits while working too much to build a relationship with your kids?
Great question. I don't have a specific desire, in terms of a profession. If I had to pick, it'd be consulting due to the travel. At the risk of sounding shallow, I want outcomes in the most reasonable amount of time. So I'm optimizing money, impact, and timeframe in that order. Willing to sacrifice a short timeline if potential results are potent.
听到这个消息我很高兴。就您提出的WLB问题而言，直到35-40之前，我才希望生孩子。我也不是与家人特别亲密，因此，只要我能为他们提供经济利益，我就可以经常见到他们。
I'm mid twenties in my "sophomore" year of college with aBBIB提出了明年夏天的报价，并为回到学校感到遗憾。Also just a tiny suggestion to add Columbia to add to your list along with Michigan-look up the school of general studies bc I think it might be a good fit for you and would open doors in literally any of the fields you mentioned
Thank you for this. I wish you well on your career path. I'll look into Columbia and general studies
Good luck to you too! I hope you decide to pursue your education, it sounds like you would really make the most of it.
The only drawback toGS我会注意到的是高昂的成本，但是如果您专注于有利可图的职业，那绝对会带来收益。
From my personal experience.. I was 27 years old and aCFA宪章持有人凭借丰富的财务和有限的并购经验，招聘人员告诉我太老了，无法跳跃。快进2年，我从事私募股权工作。老实说，我相信，这取决于您可以实现的目标。如果您知道自己想要的东西，您将做需要做的事情才能到达那里。这一切都与纪律和意志力有关。
