This is exactly why, in hindsight, I am extremely thankful I did not go to an ivy. I would almost certainly be stuck in a well-paying, soul-sucking finance job.

ive personally found finance is the complete opposite of a soul sucking cushy corporatre gig and infact working in a sme or larger company in the valley the real cubicle soul sucking el dilbert gig. yes your card says * famous web company but in reality all companies primary function is to make money, its just the branding is change the world vs lets make a ton of cash.

im going get downvoted like hell for this but saying all finance jobs are soul sucking cushy jobs is like saying your startup, yes YOURS, is the next google/facebook/twitter/blah
