I agree banking is a good job and has good outcomes. So does a Phd at a good school in an in demand field. But my point about PhD students and Tenured Faculty remains the same. They appear to be part of the same job ladder. If you were to view a venn diagram of the skills/background needed for those two roles, there is less overlap than initially appears.
