I've considered product sales positions, but I don't think being an actual salesperson who sits on lots/in stores and sells things in person is really a good fit for me though. Not even sure they would hire me. Can you get hired as a salesperson with no relevant experience and subpar people skills?

"STEM" is not a major.

Why don't you try to get a job in finance?

Was this response supposed to be condescending? Every person I meet outside of STEM fields (and a fair number within these fields as well) are always absolutely blown away by the fact that I have a math degree, going on and on about how it's so hard and they could never do it. I'm not personally saying it's this big crazy amazing thing to have a math degree, but it's still a STEM degree and it's definitely one of the fields of study that a lot of people are awed by when you tell them you did it.

Where did I say that it was? I did a math degree, with a minor in another STEM field. I only referred to it as a STEM degree to keep the conversation as general as possible. It's used as an adjective often when referring to any of the constituent fields of study.

I've thought about this as well. The problem I've had so far is that finance seems to be one of those fields that relies especially heavily on networking, and I just don't know many people in the field. I had one friend who did finance, and a couple months ago he recommended me to an employee after he had (politely) turned down their offer. They were ecstatic to talk to me, but unfortunately they weren't a huge firm and I found out that things had been going way south for them while I was talking to them, and so eventually I pulled out of the talks.

Since then I just haven't really been able to find anyone else in the field to talk to. I've applied for some other finance jobs anyways, but I always just seem to end up getting redirected to other positions within the companies. The reps who get my resume don't seem to understand how applicable math is to finance, so they forward me to other parts of the company, but unfortunately those other parts of the company are then looking for people with better credentials, so I end up getting nothing. And then I've gotten radio silence from the actual financial firms I tried applying to.
