<p>I know if I do accounting, they won't mine putting my bean counting self somewhere...</p>
<p>I'm real interested in CNBC, loans, interest rates, global stocks and all that though. But I don't have the most exuberant personality....</p>
<p>Just like there's a spot for quiet accounting majors, is there any room in the world for quiet finance types?</p>
<p>I know there's no (reasonable) way for me to be a marketing major, just wondering about my prospects in finance.</p>
<p>Research is usually one area that doesn't require as much of an "exuberant" personality as some more client-oriented/ sales oriented positions. You'll still have to meet with groups, and explain what the data shows to other people, but it'll likely involve less client contact than some other areas. Unfortunately, there is a great deal of entry level finance jobs that focus on selling people low quality securities, and not enough emphasis on making large returns (this is partially a result of certain financial regulations that make hedge funds only available to the wealthy).</p>
<p>Are you uncomfortable talking in front of groups or in front of people, one-to-one?. I know for me it's the former, thus a career like financial planning/counseling might be a personality fit...</p>
<p>I hate talking to lots of people..............</p>
<p>you should probably be a quant...i read an article on BBC saying that many of the top quants pulling in big bucks are autistic!! many have asperger's syndrome...im not saying that quants dont have to interact with people, but my point is, quants generally dont have to have exuberant personalities like the MDs for mergers and acquisitions people have to</p>
<p>check this article out lol....</p>
<p>TOP</a> STORIES: Asperger?s in the City?</p>
<p>it talks about how quants tend to be so socially awkward that they are diagnosed with what's called the Asperger's syndrome....despite this, they make good money....</p>
