Need some advice

So I’m currently hired as a investment specialist for a 529 plan. I work full time hours and I’m also a sophomore in college taking full time credit hours. I’m currently going to peru state college and earning a degree in accounting, I have a 3.9 gpa. I plan on getting my mba to become a CPA and work in audit for sometime to build a good foundation and then I want to try and get a job with a hedge fund or a mutual fund to start as a analyst or potentially a higher position. I just applied to a few Big4 accounting firms for internships. I’m wondering if I’m on the right path or is there something else I need to be doing or something that I’m doing to improve on. My end goal is to manage a hedge fund then retire and start my own fund.
