[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people in here acting like making money isn't a desirable goal? FYI if you said something like that, you MIGHT want to check your privilege. The only people who say money doesn't matter are people who grew up with it and can't imagine life any other way.

These days, most highly educated professionals are expected to work AT LEAST 50 hours a week but usually more. I don't know about you, but if I'm going to spend 10 hours a day at work no matter what, I'd rather make the 500k + (extremely hefty bonus) salary rather than the 50-250k  salary. [/quote]

It is, but I left.  Money was great, but I got NO fulfillment from it.  Now, had I done it at 22, that may have been different.  I ended up in IB with a law degree b/c the bankers were struggling with the docs.  Long story.  I stayed 4 years b/c it is a young person's game.  By the time I went to structured finance, I was married with 2 kids.  I got no fulfillment from it.  [/quote]
