Is finance a "sales" job?

If you go finance, you’ll be competing with highly selective colleges like Wharton/NYU.



My god, its **** like this that ****es me off. Look, if you’re afraid of competition, good luck being anything but below average at anything in life. If you want to be the best accountant, you’ll face competition as well and that goes for anything in life. Do whatever you enjoy, try for the best but realize that not everyone will get it and just be happy with your capabilities. Running away from competition isn’t going to get you anywhere in any field. You think Warren Buffett would have become who he is if he pussied out after he transferred out of Wharton? “Oh, I don’t go to Wharton anymore, brb, no longer doing finance since I’m not at a target”. No, he did his best and for him, it payed dividends (sorry, couldn’t resist).
