How does one get involved in the financial services industry wihhout a finance degree?


more paticularly fund management

You don't need a finance degree, you just need to be smart, hard working and have a good business sense. I would read everything you can about investing. Authors I would recommend are Warren Buffet (shareholder letters), Benjamin Graham, Philip Fisher and Joel Greenblatt. Read these and learn how to judge the quality of a business and determine what it's worth. If you understand these concepts well and remain disciplined, you can teach yourself to be a good investor.

be the mail boy in a big office

why not just go for the degree, then you will get promoted and get the money you want.

You really need an education. But, temporary agencies like Accountemps (Robert Half) and Spherion or Randstad can help you until you get your degree or certificate in Finance.
