From what i …
From what i understand you work and school very hard till your 50. Then when you retire you’ll be able to do what ever you want. Some people might not mind this lifestyle, but to me a more balanced lifestyle with a good income sounds more reasonable. That way you divide your time up between your youth and when you are older. There are many things that a person might regret not doing when they were young when they are caught up in the world of money. you only have one life, spend it wisely

Trust me, there’s …
Trust me, there’s time to spend it. When you’re 65 and still worried about retirement money, especially if you live longer than you think, that’s not a fun position to be in.
If you work hard your earlier years in a lucrative industry, but still live a balanced life, you can essentially retire by 50, and pursue whatever projects you want for the remainder of your life.

Why do I never hear …
Why do I never hear people complaining about investment banking when it’s a bull market? People who blame the current mess on investment bankers don’t even have a clue what they are talking about. P.S. I’m not an investment banker.

Young boy, I can ure you that my work is worth the payment that I recieve. I work very hard to earn every penny that I make. There is more to i-banking than you think. We did not cause the financial crisis. It was you people who cannot afford to pay back housing loan that causes submortgage crisis, and we are just another victim from that crisis. Many investment banks suffered greatly from declined value in mortgage-backed securities, but certainly not the company that I am working with.

Investment bankers …
Investment bankers are a joke, given the mess they have created and finally they had to go with begging bowl to be saved from bankruptcy.
I stopped using them since last 4 years and use top grade private analysts teams to find the best investments in all market conditions. I get access to them from membership club at website ‘bigprofitsystem’ with ‘com’ extension.

The financial world …
The financial world is changing and I would suggest doing a major which would give you real skills that people will pay for-doctors will almost always be needed. I see a lot more financial turmoil up ahead and while the wall street mentality is to be rah rah, this time it’s best if you take a step back and reconsider your future.

Yes it does, but I try to keep my life simple. I don’t go out party every day. I still find some time to enjoy myself and meeting with friends during the weekend. Your first few years in Invesment Banking, especially the bulge bracket firms will be quite tough, but once you reach the MD position, you will get at least 1 million $ per year without having to do much. I hope this helps your decision. Remember, study hard and get to the top business school. It’s definitely worth it.

Yes, finance. I major in International Business, and got an MBA in Finance. I’m doing well so far. I’m working as an ociate second-year for Goldman Sachs. The work is tough, but the salary, especially the bonus is worth it!
