Re: Questions about other professional salaries vs. investment banking
[ QUOTE ]
wtf? i am a junior in university studying mechanical engineering. I am here because of spite (my guidance counselor said i couldnt do it) and money. Big emphasis on the money part...
Am I in the wrong field? Seriously? Is the money in engineering not as good as it is in banking?

If you are not in engineering because you enjoy it, get out now before you've wasted a few years of your career and decide you want to change. Although my reasons for entering engineering (CompEng '99 grad UIUC) were slightly different from yours, they certainly were not for love of engineering. Seven years later I feel as though I've wasted a lot of time on something I just don't enjoy and am now planning how to exit this field and get into something more along financial lines. Entering any field to prove someone else wrong, or simply for monetary reasons will only make you unhappy in the future.
