My questions:
Over the last few years ive come to realize that my true passion is in finance and not engineering, I have no desire to begin a career in the engineering realm now as i know it is not something i see my future in. I would like to pursue an MBA with a concentration in finance and career goals of one day managing a hedge fund.
(1) what is my level of competitiveness at these schools now?
(2) how will it improve if i accept a position with Lockheed Martin for 2-3 years
(3) The Wachovia stock broker of my family members accounts has offered to write me a letter of recommendation, would this be a valid letter to use in an application given i have no supervisor? what about a letter from the professor who oversaw my work on the grant project?
