<p>^Exactly....that's what it is, but dcfca seems to think they are the wonder-childs of investment banking.</p>
<p>Nor are they inherently weaker at the profession (it actually can be argued that your average engineer is significantly more impressive academically than your average business major). There is no clear cut answer to any of the questions.</p>

<p>Really? I don't think I said that at all. I just said they get many of the same opportunities as business majors(in terms of finance careers), which they do.</p>
<p>You're the one who was saying engineering majors have a tough time getting into top MBA programs but you were wrong.</p>
<p>Not academically mahras, professionally.</p>
<p>Engineering is definately a harder major academically than your business major on average. Typically your engineering majors have greater intellectual faculties than your business majors. Broad generalizations but they do contain some substance.</p>

<p>I would say different, not better. There's no proof that engineering majors are smarter than business majors. There are business majors that are like the smartest people in the world, and there are also engineering majors who have the intellectual capacity of chickens.</p>
<p>just wondering for all you future i-bankers....what about 10 years from now when your son has a soccer game after school and once again you can't make it, or your daughter is in a play but you have to watch the video if you get the time... just a thought for those so anxious to work 80 hour weeks....</p>
<p>people who go into ibanking just do it for the money/experience. I don't think many think of it as their career in the long run.</p>
<p>I'll be 27 in 10 years. Something tells me that I'll be in business school or law school (or have just graduated from business school or law school). Anyways, something tells me that's a little bit early to get married and have kids. I'll save kids for later (maybe around 30) when I have a stable career in venture capital or corporate finance or something and not a volatile one like ibanking in which I can lose my job any second.</p>
<p>Plus if you had 6-10 year old kids when you're 27-30, you would have to marry incredibly early....like 20-24.</p>
<p>Yep, most I-bankers (at least in New York) don't have kids until their early 30s. With that said, these people should've retired by the time they are in their mid 40s. Don't listen to those people who say you won't have time for your family, they obviously have no skills in budgeting time.</p>
<p>Yeah, plus don't listen to people who say you won't have time for your family because you won't HAVE a family....well at least until you're in a pretty secure job...:D</p>
