Does anyone know if finance requires strong math and social skills? I assumed it did - social skills for creating connections, and math skills for actually doing to job.

And if you do have poor social skills, then practice! Social skills are really important. I'm still working on this.

This is some guesswork, but some other possible combinations:

Strong social skills, above average IQ - management?

Above average IQ, good math skills - accounting?

Rich parents, family business - take over said business eventually.

Middle class parents, fair amount of property, good location - rent.

Rich parents, strong social skills - network through their connections.
