<p>This will probably come off as horribly ignorant, especially considering I'm attending a somewhat renowned business school, but I'm dying to know: what exactly do you DO as an investment banker? I understand the general idea of investment banking, but on a day-to-day basis, what would the job be like? I hear that it is the most sought after occupation at my school and I guess I am wondering why. Is it just about the salary, or is it a genuinely interesting and exciting field?</p>
