Is finance a "sales" job?

finance takes a pretty sharp turn into sales, networking, and managing clients. if you’re not a people person i guess you could stay at lower level finance positions like analyst or associate for a while, but who knows how long you’d want to stay doing the grunt work. but then again, if you’re this stressed out trying to maintain a high GPA, maybe 60-80 hour work weeks aren’t for you…

i know nothing about accounting, but sounds like a lot more school time than finance in your case. idk how much you’re dishing out in tuition but there’s an up and a down side to everything i guess.

good luck with your decision, and no matter how far down one road you go, you can always turn around and start the long journey back.
