I wouldn’t close your mind to it. Finance attracts “questionable people” but finance is also very interesting on many levels and is a central part of life. Work through some finance math. Calculate an IRR. See how it works. If anything there’s a lot of great human history in it.

Thanks. I'm trying to be diplomatic here with my criticism and appreciate the positive and informative responses despite my negativity. You are right, finance is critical to social function and perhaps I've only been focusing on the negative aspects.
