Date: January 28th, 2012 10:49 AM Author: Coral beady-eyed theatre mental disorder With how lucrative the financial industry is, it seems weird that the smartest kids don't go there but opt for academia, research, etc. They could probably pwn.

I think there is something a little unsavory about iBanking and going that route - you have to deal with a lot of shitty people and the industry is morally tainted.

Date: January 28th, 2012 10:52 AM Author: swashbuckling turdskin i think a lot of them do, don't they? isn't this one of the criticisms? that these really smart kids were recruited/seduced into finance, and they created all these impossibly complex financial "instruments," and that they helped to fuck up the economy when they could have been making a contribution to society in another field?

it's 100% true. our economy would be better if more smart people in the 1980s-2000s had avoided finance and gone into other fields. |

Date: January 28th, 2012 10:54 AM Author: trip salmon legend I think they do go into finance.
But finance isn't always a meritorious industry. Also it's a brutal industry and people get burnt out. Economy sucks so even best and brightest are getting fired. |

Date: January 28th, 2012 10:54 AM Author: Ungodly slimy electric furnace We want our smart kids to become entrepreneurs, first and foremost. Need to be the social, energetic, "idea" people who can transform the way we live and how companies do business, come up with 180 products, etc. Wall Street should be full of fobby Asians who will grind away and get things right, and we wouldn't mind paying them less.
The real tragedy is that a lot of enterpreneur-type personalities go into bullshit "help the people" type jobs that don't accomplish anything, instead of creating value. |

You just don't see them because once they are their they hide and don't want to draw attention to how much dough they are making. They don't need more people trying to get in the door. Whereas in academia the whole ivory tower depends on more and more lemmings trying to get in at the bottom with their undergrad loan money.

Date: January 28th, 2012 11:01 AM Author: trip salmon legend Doctors, also, try to hide how much money they are making and how dumb they are. They create high entry barriers, and they don't reveal their incomes. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1859900&forum_id=2#19852050) |

Date: January 28th, 2012 11:11 AM Author: transparent cerebral theater stage quadroon yup. I am sure they are happy that everyone thinks the stock market is rigged. I never hear anyone in finance coming out to dispute that claim. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1859900&forum_id=2#19852081) |

Date: February 2nd, 2012 11:24 AM Author: electric sadistic den private investor Not everyone, particularly really smart people who might be a bit aspie/awkward, wants to do that type of cutthroat, always reporting to someone type work.
The reason Ph.D. programs get a lot of these kids is because they can work on the research they want, at their own pace and in their own work environment. Many of the super smart kids tend to march to the beat of their own drummer, and as such seek out careers that allow them to continue to do that. |

God the most credited path in the world has GOT to be getting tenure at a top institution and then peacing the fuck out, doing whatever interesting hobbies and just writing whatever things you want to write. Think Noam Chomsky. I mean, he is a LINGUISTICS dood, but all he ever does anymore is write screeds on politics. |
