Sheetlab: I am also trying to be in the same field. I don't have an engineering background but finance and accounting. Infact, to work in functional area, you don't need computer science degree. All you need is the knowledge of accounting and finance to be in FI/CO. E-mail me if you want to speak with me about this. We can join the same training program. You can check Sulekha.com for consulting firm to find out a training program. Hope this helps. AmriT
