It's a shame that so many people will not attempt to follow on with their "dream job" goals. At my UK University there is a strong culture of getting a good degree in a quantitative field, perhaps doing a PhD in a similar (but still quantitative) field and then being plucked out by a large investment bank to work as a "quantitative analyst". The salary is good, but I'm sure the work becomes tedious after a while. The process is almost as precise as an automobile assembly line!
