Only in this tech bubble and in cities swallowed by it like SF.

If you live somewhere with a healthier balance of careers where not everything is focused around tech, it would come off as incredibly dull and tone-deaf.

Yeah, that's my reception as well, that's why I was surprised. Sure, investing requires skill and can get you very rich - but so does running a garbage truck company. I would assume that for most people, jet fighter pilots are cool, rock stars are cool, footballers are cool, even some poker pros are cool - but not investors.

Interesting question to ask on a site predominantly composed of people who have/want investment, run by a company which has invested in some really cool companies.

Contributing to something valuable is the coolest.
