Financial advisor vs medical device sales rep

Hello Wall Street oasis, I am a current graduate from college just recently and I am struggling between 2 career paths. My main concern is money because I could enjoy both but which career do you guys think would be more lucrative. I think it is also worth noting that my father is a financial advisor and he already has a successful built in client base which could be useful. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. Thanks!
