Brand New to WSO Looking for Career Change

Hey all, I am new to WSO. I recently graduated college with a degree in Economics. I am currently in a sales position but looking to go back to school to get an MBA and change careers to something Finance related. I've considered Financial Advisor roles but am still unsure on what I really want to get into but I fear I have to decide soon as I am 26 going on 27 and feel like I am behind the curve. Hopefully WSO helps me find some answers with what I want to pursue.
