Because they are risk-takers. Low risk - low reward.
- gwern 17y agoWhen you are a banker, what is the risk? Are you quietly taken out back to the shed and shot whenever you don't meet your quarterly target? (Unemployment, you say? But that's the same risk my garbageman takes...)
- camccann 17y agoThe risk is losing a lot of someone else's money, of course! Of course, the financial sector in general is still a risk-taking operation, even if the individual employees bear little to none of that risk (leaving aside, for the moment, the whole "fail badly enough and the government will save you using everyone's money").
