Career advice for a Business grad

Hi everyone,
I am seeking for advices.
I just graduated from a top Tier business school in France I.e. ESSEC (ranked 2nd) with a lot of perspectives but very few knowledge about what a real job is. When I applied here I didn't really know what I wanted to do, but a Business school seemed to be the best choice in terms of the diversity of the jobs that you can do.
I am not a calculus person,** I hate Excel and quant in general** but I'm quite good at it.

I have an entrepreneurial mind and excellent relationship skills

I am obviously aware that quant and analytical skills are at the base of mostly all financial jobs (especially at the beginning), but which field would be quickest pathway to a "quant-free" career?

I was thinking about Private wealth management, developing and building a portfolio, establing relationships, serving at best clients and travelling on a regular basis are all aspects that motivate me.

Suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

Willy
