Are there careers within finance with these characteristics?

I'll give a pitch for VC and you can judge for yourself if it fits. Big disclaimer, VC's vary widely and your experience at one firm can be drastically different from another...

1. Giving creative ideas: I really enjoy supporting portfolio companies and if I know one of our CEOs is struggling with a certain part of the business (marketing, data acquisition, etc.) I like to brainstorm ideas, suggestions, and introductions I can make to help them solve the problem.
2. Making the impossible happen: eh...I guess? Finding and working with a unicorn is hard enough to plop into this category
3. Analytical: VC can be quite analytical depending on your focus and how the partners like to evaluate investments. What I like about the analytics of VC is that a lot of art and science is required to make sense of the limited/anecdotal information you have.
4. Hands-on/travel/talking with people: Oh yeah, you're going to talk...a lot. Tons of meetings, a few conferences here and there, visiting HQ of startups, talking with entrepreneurs, etc. It's a people business and it can get pretty personal.
5. Teaching people/presenting: You'll have to learn a lot about a wide range of topics and will likely have to explain complex things in simple ways for people in your network, partners who aren't in the know about an idea you have, entrepreneurs who aren't familiar with something you're advising them, etc.
6. Real estate: Don't know. Won't go there.
7. Work-life balance/growth: There are routine things and obligations as a VC associate but I'd argue your experience is largely what you make of it. Your growth will largely be a function of the effort you put in and the network you develop. While I do work more now in VC than back in ER, I see my work-life balance as better because there are more parts of the job I like and my job generates interesting conversations with friends.
