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.



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.


I definitely would, and did, turn it down. Many people do. And I don't come from a family of wealth either.

This chart includes back office positions, which don’t have the prestige and pay DCUM wants. That’s why you see big state schools, and local schools like NYU and Columbia.

I think it’s about where they start their careers? Not end them as senior partners?

Money makes the world go ‘round. Money is fascinating. Finance is lucrative.

Saw this embedded in the Yale post. Thought it was interesting, worth discussing.

How accurate are these lists in your opinion? Surprised by the concentration but I guess I shouldn’t be.
