Career, is there such a thing?

[Epinephrine]

Have I not thought of doing something outside finance? But do you really think other industry would really be much better? I have chosen finance because I liked it ... even though now I think about it research & development probably suits me more. Well, too damn late to change now <_<

You're obviously not enjoying yourself. Also I think no matter how much money you make, you will not be happy, because your bosses, the traders will make much more. It's never too late to change careers, hell you're younger than me.

Like the industry I am in - finance. Does it create much value? Do investment bankers make 2 million dollars worth of value a year as indicated by their pay checks? With 2 million I am sure you can buy a lot of bread, chicken, beef. Sure we can not say an investment banker creates 10 times more value than farmers because farmers tend to make less than 10% of what an investment bankers make, right?

What about those lawyer? ... and tax accountants? ... and George W. Bush, you paid him 300 grand a year for 8 years, because he created whole lots of value for the U.S?

so get out of the industry

[Galleleo]

I like how tagmor tried to make himself sound awesome by saying he has an impressive space figure collection.

[gran guerrero]

so you sell weed

[TagMor]

So what do you do?

I run a small catering business.

So you make 1/2 million bonus as a software developer?
I find that a bit hard to believe. In fact, i dare you to scan a paycheck.

And if so, sign me up. My pro's:
- I've got double your experiance, also in the financial district (bank).
- I'm a male.

Learn to read, I said I work with people who make 1/2 million bonus a year.

Also, you might have worked in banks/are working for one. But do you have a lot of front office experience? Are you familiar with automated trading systems? Do you know the term algorithmic trading?

A lot of algorithmic trader/quant developers are mathematicians who are also developers. If you are one of them, and if you are good, I am sure 1/2 million a year is not hard to obtain.

She must be a Math Major as well as a CS Major maybe? Because where I work, the Math Majors make more than everyone else excluding middle management (which is around $250,000+) and the executives (no clue! ridiculous stock options though).

She might be talking about Yen.

Sigh, another person who likes to comment on something he did not read.

I guess you need to be tough to take the verbal abuse of some rich dickwad throwing money at you.

In the company I work for, people who make a lot of money are the traders, and they are nice towards the developers and women.

Take away your finance and banking work and can you do anything at all besides work in the finacial industry? You mention Engineering? Well what kind of Engineering? Real Engineering to me deals with building codes and making sure components of an architectural or mechanical nature hold up to the specified extremes necessary. Your engineering degree must not be related to what most think of when the word "Engineer" is mentioned...and if it is, why would you go from Engineering to Finance? That's like going from a lawyer to a bathroom attendant.

You didn't really address his comment and instead made another one, which his comment still addresses.

Yikes!

some occupations may be useless - by what standards?

if a job was useless, it wouldn't be done. if a service was useless, it wouldn't be purchased.
