Will skills from this job carry over to non investing roles and entrepreneurship

So the longer I do this job the more I realize I can't be in advisory services or investment forever. I would just hate my life too much. Ideally I help scale a startup or do something entrepreneurial (maybe franchising gyms or fast food), and build a meaningful business. I am building some analytical skills and strong personal skills but wonder if this is the most productive use of my youth if I don't want to do it forever.
