I am interested in career in Finance (Hedge Funds or other Investments)?

I am 23 and planning to move to NY this fall. Here are my credentials: Graduated from UC Berkeley in 2005, BA in Slavic Languages and Literature, very low GPA however, around a 2.3. Afterwards, I got a MS degree in Taxation from Golden Gate University. Ok GPA. Currently working as a Tax Accountant in a regional firm in the Bay Area, California. I’ve worked here for 4 months and already feel that accounting is not for me. I am just upset that the MS Tax degree cost me $20K. I am fascinated by the stock markets, and investing in general. I am contemplating a career change into something related to Hedge Funds or the like. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to transition to a finance career in hedge funds or other investment firms without any financial background, with a low undergrad GPA and a MS in Tax. What classes should I take, who should I talk to in order to build a network relationship? Any and all advice is appreciated!

How do I invest in short term secure Euro investments from the US?

I want to purchase a short-term (5 month or less) low risk instrument where I take on the currency risk/gain between the US Dollar and Euro or British Pound Sterling. I can do this in a Roth or taxable account. Is there such a thing as money market type accounts that trade in the Euro? Are there short term notes or CD’s available from foreign banks? I think the US dollar will weaken vs the Euro over the next 2 years though I don’t want to go out past this US election. What do I do?

I am 18 and relatively new to the stock market. Since February however I am down roughly 30 percent. I currently own BAC at 15.99 and C at 4.49. I am looking for a new direction next year.

EWZ (Brazil etf)
FXI (China etf)
AAPL
BAC
JEC
AET
GE
and a natural gas etf
What do you think I should do? I am dealing with a relatively small amount of money, 2500, and would be happy to diversify except commissions kill me. Your thoughts and comments are more than welcome. Thanks for your time.

Since Goldman Sachs makes much money on hedge fund type investments in your opinion should they have U.S. govt?

Unprecedented Aid
Goldman Sachs, which set a Wall Street profit record of $11.6 billion in 2007 and may have earned $11.4 billion this year, according to the average estimate of 15 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg, won new and larger concessions from taxpayers in 2008. This time it was the threat of a financial meltdown that prompted the U.S. government, with Paulson as Treasury secretary, and the Federal Reserve to supply an unprecedented amount of aid to firms deemed critical to the financial system, including Goldman Sachs.
The 140-year-old company received $10 billion in capital, guarantees on about $30 billion of debt and the ability to borrow cheaply from the Fed. The Fed’s bailout of American International Group Inc., and its decision to pay the insurer’s counterparties in full, funneled an additional $12.9 billion to Goldman Sachs.
“What was done was appropriate because the potential costs of not doing that were probably exceedingly high,” says Gary Stern, who stepped down in August as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. “It certainly looked very threatening.”
