<p>You said you wanted to throw up you were so miserable. If it gets to that point then there is clearly something very wrong with your life. That is not the same thing as just temporarily hating something.</p>
<p>morris, interesting the range of emotions one can feel in the banking industry isn’t it? We go from one poster wanting to “throw up” at the level of misery to your daughter being very happy.</p>
<p>Working in the back office is less volatile and more routine. The pressure is not on them because of their support role. </p>
<p>Once you start working I think your opinion might change. A sizable paycheck is often reason enough to stick with a job, regardless of the ups and downs. </p>
<p>Back on topic. OP, if you want to get into banking, follow my advise. Be prepared for a tough career, but a very lucrative one. Most people only do it for two years, but even then you can leverage that experience to something else. Good luck.</p>
<p>Hahaha</p>
<p>People, when I said “rebellious”, I didn’t mean Sex, Drugs, Rock n Roll, and Rehab rebellious; I meant rebellious against the will of my parents.</p>
<p>I’m sorry, I should have made that more clear.</p>
<p>Thank you all for the answers though; very insightful! I think I will take Mathematics and French. Will I be missing out on anything if I don’t take Econ?</p>

<p>Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I am very aware of the long hours and grueling work, but I am a SPARTAN. But really @InMotion12, I understand what he is talking about. You’re giving a service to the form in order to get paid beacoup bucks. Of course there are days where you’ll feel like stabbing your boss if you look at another Excel file, but I’m sure it happens in every job. There are good times also. @MSFHQsite, is it alright if I PM you with questions about the industry? So far, a lot of what I could find out is hear-say, and I would really appreciate getting the info straight from someone in the industry.</p>
<p>Yeah, PM away.</p>
