None of us are in finance, so we can’t help. Are you in a gang?

Hank ur always so funny. U should do stand up

I can sell, just hate it = I can’t sell

Back office or sales assistant.

What do you hate about selling? ... I assume you hate prospecting; if so, maybe you can find a less unpleasant way to prospect.

He just needs to move a bit farther south to CT (Hartford) or to NY.  Or to someplace sunny like San Diego. 

Of course, if the financial sector isn't to your liking due to all the "sales." You could take advantage of your natural local network and get into the wonderful world of lobster fishing (long hours, but great benefits.) And, of course, there is always OTR trucking. Good growth industry there.

Our office has an opening for one or two for Admin. Assistants. You don’t have to sell , you are in the Financial Services Industry. Are you kidding?

Boyz - you don’t need the 7. I believe Miss Jones said get the CFA. This is a good approach. You can also try getting on as an analyst at a hedge fund while you study. Or try a mutual fund. Likely you’ll be making copies, fetching coffee and delivering mail for a while. Although I believe someone already pointed out that you could be a secretary.



You don’t need to go to school to get your CFA, although there are programs that will “prep” you for the exam. In order to pass the CFA, you will have to study your tail off - I mean REALLY study. It is not the series 7, or 65, or 66. Nor is it the CFP. My old finance professor (Ph.D.) failed level I twice and level II twice.



So you have to ask yourself. Are you smart enough not to like sales if you are good at it?

Go back to school and get your CFA.

Hamburger U’s got a great program

There are plenty of jobs. Mutual Fund houses doing marketing, fund analytics, analysts, events, firm relations, ect. Same applies to working inside an insurance company. Their is plenty of jobs that require a 7 that are behind the scenes. Just because you have a 7 doesn’t mean your a broker. Most places are on a freeze right now, but good luck.

I would look into becoming an analyst.

You could be a registered reps’ sales assistant. It’s a foot-in-the-door to the industry and you may change your mind on sales.
