Deciding on a career path

I feel like my brain works like a consultant, and I would enjoy consulting, but I also looove all things finance & investing. While I don’t necessarily have extensive experience in the field (most of what I know is self taught, my major is accounting), I want to get involved in it somehow and learn more.

I currently work in audit, I’m not sure what exit opportunities are an option for me for the investing/finance industry. Feel like chances are are slim. Any advice?

Kind of seeking validation here but also happy to take feedback. Is 22 too young for luxury goods? I’m obsessed with handbags. Like literally. I own 2 LV, 1 Chanel, 1 YSL, 1 Gucci, and just bought another Gucci. Idk what’s wrong with me🧐but I’ve been feeling super antsy and dissatisfied with life that I seek thirst in binge shopping, or even spending hours looking at handbags. Fyi I’m really not spoiled, most of the bags are hard earned and I consider myself to be ambitious

Thanks!

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read?
