just to be clear

while it true there is a lot of money to be made in banking etc n of cos no lack of flaunters of wealth...

it is a job... and we make it be what we think it.

the ugly side is lots of number crunching ,listening to really boring statistics and trends, diving into drivers like methdology for cpi calculation , talking to old men and women whom r in management positions, lots of office politics etc

go talk to some older bankers -especially those not your age to get to know the real story. eg ask them what are some of stressful situations they face at work to see if these r the problems u want to spend your life solving....
