actually has finance really been disgraced? the bailouts are still on, aspiring bankers still know that big bonuses are there (once the down turn ends) when they create wealth, with no downside (to the bankers) when they destroy it... bankers and banks have been disgraced yes, but finance as a profession, has it really been tarnished? compare this with careers in CS... dont know about the valley, but here in Sydney, engineers rarely negotiate for salaries and benefits the same way bankers do (ie directly arguming risk and rewards). Having to work crazy hours for "prestige" is still the norm... and engineers are treated as "costs" in most organisations...
