Switching career (ENG to FIN) after I140 approval before I485 filing

I am a Civil Engineer here in the US on H1b visa (H1b valid from 10/2013 to
09/2019, with extension). My company is filing for my Green Card under EB-2;
they have completed the Prevailing Wage Determination and will apply for I140
within 6-8 months. I plan to file the I140 through premium processing. Hence,
I should have the approved I140 in 8-10 months from now. After the I140 gets
approved and before I485 is filed, can I switch my career to Finance; for
example work as an Investment Analyst?

I am also pursuing Masters in Finance from a US Higher Education Institution;
this should get completed by 08/2017.

If you could answer this, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Mann
 
Why would you want to do this without getting the GC? My understanding is that its issued based on job description in PERM and if your job role changes by more than 50% (which would be the case here), you would have to redo the process
