Uncertain about career path

I am about to end a Bachelor in Economics and Finance at a non target school in Europe. After, I will probably keep studying at my university: it offers a two years Master in Economics and Financial Institutions with a double degree program, so might spend the first year abroad and get a Master in Economics before heading back to finish last year at my hometown. The reason why I am posting is because I have no idea which professional figure would be most suitable for me: my academic knowledge is mostly focused on macroeconomics, economic policies and financial markets and products broadly speaking, as well as statistics and econometrics. These are the subjects I mostly like, and am trying to figure out which path/profession in the wide finance world I should aim to. I have taken accounting exams, but I don't have major knowledge in that nor in corporate valuation or modelling, and probably won't get much more during my extra two years. Hope you guys can help me to figure something out. About myself, I can also say that even if my academic path is quite quantitative, I am extremely sociable and people-oriented, not the kind of person that would love to spend >12 hours a day on screens without talking to anyone. Please forgive me for being so long, any opinion will be precious. Thank you!
