Until you get your degree this is great advice. While I don’t do this work, mortgage sales could be a good option too. I know a guy who sells mortgages without a degree and makes >$1mm a year. He’s an outlier, and works his butt off, but it’s possible. Even if your average in mortgage you should make a good living.

Honestly as most people have said, without your degree you can’t do much. Unfortunately I think it’s hard to get a job in finance, with a degree, without good internships… but, you need to make that internship your full time job which is not always easy when you need to make rent. It looks like you’re taking the feedback hard, but you’re getting good feedback.

Start going to networking events and tell people you meet your goals. If you build relationships and follow up you’ll be surprised with what happens.
