> Very strange that right after the arts are two titles that are highly romanticized. Back in the days I owned my own business and had a sizeable medical client base, I cannot tell you how many doctors had to buy a BMW because their other doctor friend has a BMW and you're not one of the "doctor club" unless you own one. New York investment bankers and stockbrokers. I don't think any of us want to know all the American Psycho shit that goes down in those professions, but I do know of one anecdote (which I can't cite but may have gotten from Hackernews years ago): Apparently, the thing to do if you're in high finance in NYC is to live in a posh apartment in Manhattan. You could live in a (relatively, this is NYC) cheap apartment in Brooklyn or the Bronx and save a bit of money to put towards retirement or whatever -- but you will be looked down on by your peers and passed over for promotions. The higher-ups want to see you "hungry", as they think it makes you more loyal and driven.
