Not sure I agree 100% about them just following the money. Isn't there just as much earning potential now as there ever was for "America's best and brightest" on Wall Street? Maybe more accurately stated as them following prestige and social capital, since Wall Street has become decidedly less popular in public opinion since the mortgage meltdown. Or maybe they feel more fulfilled in working for companies that "make" something, rather than just finding ways to turn some rich guy's money into more money.
