You need to get job experience.
No one will look at you if you have a Masters and zero finance experience.
If I were you, continue with the masters since it is free (parents are doing you a huge favor) and you should spend 12 hours a day finding a unpaid or paid internship.
Your problem reads like a résumé that simply says "business degree". This is just like going to an MBA program with no job experience, you're screwed.
Think about it like this, if you were interviewing two people 1) has done a similar job before, 2) has more education. Who are you gonna hire?
No brainer you hire the guy who can do the job.
Seeing lots of candidates like this now, people go to college and get a 3.5+ with no job experience and expect a legit firm to hire them. GTFO. (Yes that sounds harsh but it's the truth)
By the time you are done with 4 years of school you should have 4-6 jobs/internships (paid or unpaid).
The longer you go with no experience the worse it gets. All employers know, work performance can be unrelated to school performance.
Education is never a replacement for experience because businesses are run to make money. How does your masters degree increase their bottom line? It doesn't.
If you had say 5 years of hard experience and then got more connections because you got higher education... That's a different story.
TL;DR how are your actions making the firm money? This is the only thing that matters.
