[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people want these jobs? Lots of money? Really??? Sounds boring. There are so many better and more interesting ways to hcontribute to society and make a good living. [/quote]

If you aren’t inheriting money, it’s the easiest way to afford “that life” (large well decorated/maintained house; summer beach home; private school; 1 ski vacation, and 1 spring break vacation and maybe Europe every other year for family trips to make memories and traditions; luxury cars; lots of help for a frictionless life) with limited money problems.

I’ve been there. 
One of these jobs changed my life (from lmc to HHI of 4-8M per year)…..it’s much easier. [/quote]

Pretty much this. Life is a lot more pleasant when you're rich. It's not a surprise that a significant percentage of graduates from top schools go into finance or consulting. It might be boring. It might be soul-sucking. But unless you come from family wealth, you wouldn't turn it down either. [/quote]

Pleasant and soul-sucking don’t generally go hand in hand. “That life” described by the PP is all about outward appearances. None of that stuff actually makes people happier.[/quote]

It makes me happier. I have that life.[/quote]

It’s a little disappointing that super wealthy, happy people are on DCUM on a beautiful Saturday trying to convince us how amazing their lives are.[/quote]

They must too exhausted from massaging their egos to do anything else. [/quote]
