I like money as much as anyone else, but to have to live in NY and work 70+ hours a week to get it?  No thank you. [/quote]

If you're successful it's A LOT of money. Crazy money. Like multimillion dollar apartment in Manhattan and multimillion dollar Hamptons beach house money. And many people work that many hours in non Wall Street jobs and don't make nearly that kind of money. [/quote]

that's like saying if you are a successful ballplayer, it's a lot of money and crazy money.

With the up and out structure and burn out rates - most who start on WS don't see that kind of money. [/quote]

Not a good analogy. The number of people on wall st who end up with 7 figure income is a lot higher than the number of people playing in the nba or whatever. Plenty of people end up in very high paying jobs at hedge funds, senior leadership of companies, etc. if you are set on being wealthy and you're smart, it's probably your best first move after college. Or at least it was if you graduated in the 90s/2000s era. Not sure if things have changed since then. [/quote]
