<p>^Ignorant fo shizzle.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Idiot. </p>
<p>TCBH is right - this thread is full of fail.</p>
<p>Actually, the most successful people on Wall Street often work far more than 100 hrs/wk. I recently finished Stock Market Wizards: Interviews With America’s Top Stock Traders, and most of them admitted to being focused on their work to the point of unhealthy obsession. Some of them said they’ve spent upwards of 18 hours/day, 7 days/wk working both in the office and at home. Others stated that they had never missed a day of trading despite debilitating sicknesses or broken bones. However, these are people who now own companies managing billions of dollars in high-risk trading and earn returns far exceeding any index, so this might be unique to them alone.</p>
<p>Just saying. If you expect to be the best, you need to be obsessed with what you’re doing. It needs to consume you. </p>
<p>Although I don’t think you’re trying to achieve anywhere near as much as these people lol (which is probably a good thing).</p>
<p>
Top head fund managers don’t work that much. The “rainmakers” in S&T might, but they are far from the biggest players on Wall Street.</p>
<p>Do what you want to do, otherwise your ECs/everything will be complete BS.
Also, how do you build classes around business? LOL. It is crucial nowadays to have a legit degree for undergrad, and that means a hardcore science/engineering degree.</p>
<p>Financial sectors are a small part of what it means to go into business.</p>
<p>^^^^I’m guessing ignorant in your case?</p>
<p>The government keeps life saving medicine out of the hands of the people to be distributed only by doctors who charge small fortunes to see them to have them prescribed. They have taken your life out of your hands and put it in the hands of doctors along with their ability to deny you any of these medications based upon their own discretion even if you are willing to pay to see them. Doctors have set up this prescription medicine system in an effort to control who is allowed to live and who must die. </p>
<p>If this were not true every medicine would be available for everyone, making doctors optional and vastly decreasing the amount of money they make and the availability of jobs for doctors. </p>
<p>“Top head fund managers don’t work that much.”</p>
<p>Takes a lot to actually get to that.</p>
<p>
I know that lol. It was intended as a response to the poster who said the most successful people on Wall Street often work 100+ hours. They might have worked such hours as junior analysts and associates, but not once they hit the top.</p>
<p>^I think the implication in that statement is exactly what you just stated. But whatever, different people read things differently.</p>
<p>^ We definitely read that differently. We can agree to disagree.</p>
