<p>Wow, that was one of the most out-of-the-blue demonstrations of Godwin’s Law that I’ve seen.</p>

<p>One thing to keep in mind when looking at stats about what percentage of a college class goes into finance is that some new grads play the game of “Work on Wall Street for a year, save up a bunch of money, then go to grad school or professional school or work in some other industry.”</p>
<p>Another thing to keep in mind when looking at those stats is that consulting != finance, even though they often get lumped together in the stats (sometimes it is in finance, sometimes it isn’t). My friend who has an internship for a company that does consulting for the UN is not doing finance work. The company that I interviewed with as a senior that does scientific computing consulting work, has nothing to do with finance.</p>
