Carrier choice was a life decision back in the day when minutes weren’t unlimited between carriers and you had to pay for text messages... either call friends with the same carrier or wait until 9pm or weekends for free calls

^they said carrier. I really think OP is trying to decide between Verizon and AT&T! And I understand how it can be a life changing decision

People switch carriers all the time. You don’t have to ask here. I change carriers every year depending on who has the best deals. Check out sprint and t-mobile too. They often cover the switching costs too. Go for it

If you are thinking of “career”, then you first need to spell it right! ... and if you mean mobile carrier, then your question doesn’t make sense!

That’s a pretty vague question without giving us any deets of your background and also w out telling us what kind of finance

MBA is an easy way to do this if you don't feel qualified in finance now

Or you could just go to a store and ask what plans they have. No need to get an mba for this, i think.

Stick to the tech carriers. The finance carriers are great at billing you, but their data plans suck
