[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Judging by this board, that seems to be a goal of many.  I grew up in the South and never heard of anyone aspiring to work on Wall Street, so I have to wonder what the big deal is with it.  Yes, I assume the money is good, but aren't the hours horrific?  And when people say "work on Wall Street" is that just a euphemism for going into finance or do people literally mean work on Wall Street?  That would entail living in Manhattan, which certainly appeals to some, but would be considered dreadful to many others. [/quote]

My response is a quote from Step Brothers, the best movie ever made: "I want to make BANK, bro. I want to get ASS. I want to drive a Range Rover." That's about it, at least these days.

My parents worked on Wall Street in the 60s, met at work, got married secretly (it was against company policy) and commuted from Scarsdale every day until I came along. My mother wore a hat and gloves to work every day.

In the past, it was a nice stable work environment. I've no idea why anyone would want to work there today, except for money. Plenty of people still commute to Wall Street from Westchester every single day.[/quote]
