I read the whole thread and it doesn't change my argument. You don't seem to understand economics or different value systems. Obviously SOME people make the choice to go do startups even though they could make more MONEY (at least initially) at an IB. Wonder how that happened?

Dude, what's up with the attitude? This have nothing to do with understanding economics or value systems. You keep repeating the same strawmen that have nothing to do with my argument. Why don't you point to something I said specifically instead of just weaving an argument against claims I am not making.

  Here is my problem: I see a lot of finance industry bashing in between the lines of your post. You're making an argument about the choices that individuals make based on their own personal goals and circumstances. When you bemoan the choices that other people make under the guise of "what's best for society" you're making a statement that you think differently and that inevitably leads to calls for the state (or some other authority) to involve itself.

    Sorry but that is your problem not mine. Whatever you think I am putting in between the lines is up in your head. As I said, you are attacking a strawman, a position I don't hold. I have been pretty precise in what I mean and what part of the industry I am referring to. If you can't get paste seeing ghosts then obviously you have a problem, but it's not me nor my post.

      "Isn't there something inherently wrong with society when an industry that [b]provides little value to society make so much money[/b] that they can afford to pay better than anyone else?" I dont think I misunderstood you there.

        Yes you did and if you had just an ounce of integrity you would aknowledge and admit that I actually clarified what I meant in countless other posts removing any possibility of reading in between the lines.
