I am lost please help (career advice)
So this is where I’m currently at…
I have a BS in Finance and I am now starting a MS in Finance at Harvard. The program that I got into is for individuals that are working full-time jobs and the education is either in-person or remote (I will be doing remote).
I live in south Florida (Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Miami) and I am looking for potential career opportunities here. I am 19 years old, I haven’t had any experience working in a specifically finance related job, but I own and run 2 product businesses myself that do pretty well, and I worked the past three summers at a luxury architecture firm assisting clients through their design process(it’s all a bit random but I am young so I try different stuff and explore).
Now I’m really trying to settle in and find a job/career that I can have great opportunity in, good pay, great verticals, and set me up for the long term of my career. I really want to start my career on the right footing and path because I’ve worked so hard to get to where I am at this early in my life and I don’t want to screw this all up and waste all the time I was trying to save.
So far I almost landed a job at a PE firm in Palm Beach, but they ended up backing out of their offer and now only want to offer me a position as an intern. I know it’s still an offer, I just don’t like how they made their first impression and they don’t seem very professional, so I am most likely not accepting this. Other than that my job search had just been full of confusion, not much to find in terms of finance in south Fl. I don’t know if I just suck at finding jobs. I’m just lost and I haven’t found any career opportunity that has decent potential. I’m not even sure whether or not finance is where I should be. I do like business in general though, so I guess I’m going in the right direction.
I’m not the biggest fan of big corporate because I have more of an entrepreneurial mindset, but if you have a reason why a corporate job would be great please let me know. I am open to all ideas in finance, but also anything else you may think of (outside of finance). The only criteria I have is that the jobs have to have opportunities in south Florida. Please let me know any jobs/ career advice. Thanks.
