Hey there my friend,
First I'd say let's hold off on deciding which schools you would apply to until you get your test scores, as they are a fundamental part of your candidacy...
Coming from manufacturing is fine. And actually every industry can be good, but I would suggest you reconsider your goals, as they are a bit improbable... there are enough finance people applying who want to go into finance and it's hard enough for them, and I think you can strengthen your candidacy by sticking with manufacturing.
As for what you can do to improve yourself: 1. Get more leadership, more responsibility, promoted. 2. Gain more volunteer work 3. Make sure you get excellent test scores.
Good luck on your tests!
