Potential finance careers
I'm currently a high school student that's going to be starting university this September and have been thinking deeper on what career I would like to pursue. I've always been interested in the financial industry, but am unsure of what roles I would like to undertake.
For context, I'm planning to major in financial mathematics. I've always considered Quant as a potential career, but I'm afraid it might be a bit to "mathy" for me - I always preferred the "finance" side of things compared to maths. I've also considered discretionary trading, but I've heard quite a lot of people talk it down due to how its borderline gambling (correct me if I'm wrong though).
Given that I have an interest in the buy-side of finance and am more quantitative in nature (though not Jane Street quant level), what potential careers would you guys recommend, and what would be a suitable pathway (e.g. sell side to buy side?).
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
