Few Questions to Start With

Hello everyone,

I am currently a 3rd year accounting and finance student and I want to break into a finance job. What I am looking for is a job which does not have an insane amount of time commitment like say 80 hours+.

Which finance position should I aim for if I want something which is around 60 hours per week of work and it allows me to play with models and come up with different valuations based on my assumptions?

Also, how can I break into said field?

Thank you for your time!
