If you are a scholar, go civil service.
Non scholar, do sales, marketing, banking, financial consultant, real estate agent or trading. Even accounting can get you there if you are made a partner.
Yet the truth is that out of 100 people, 80 want to be in the top seat. Like a race, there is only 1 prize. 1 of them gets the prize and 79 are disappointed. Are you sure you got what it takes to clinch the top prize? It is very important to be realistic and set attainable goals as well as having contingency plans. Otherwise its like the many who join investment banking for the money but soon realised that they do not possess the gift of the gab or the skills needed to sell the products.

Well summarised. At the end of the day, one has to be realistic and not get blinded by all those stories of great success and wealth. Its easy to say I am willing to work hard, can learn fast, good with people and other similar crap but this is not enough to propel to the top. The banking / investment world is like Hollywood, everyone knows of the few famous stars who make it big, but forget the remaining 98% who are languishing with crap jobs & pay waiting for the big break that never comes.
