This have nothing to do with understanding economics or value systems. You keep repeating the same strawmen that have nothing to do with my argument.
Why don't you point to something I said specifically instead of just weaving an argument against claims I am not making.
I see a lot of finance industry bashing in between the lines of your post. You're making an argument about the choices that individuals make based on their own personal goals and circumstances. When you bemoan the choices that other people make under the guise of "what's best for society" you're making a statement that you think differently and that inevitably leads to calls for the state (or some other authority) to involve itself.
As I said, you are attacking a strawman, a position I don't hold.
I have been pretty precise in what I mean and what part of the industry I am referring to. If you can't get paste seeing ghosts then obviously you have a problem, but it's not me nor my post.
I dont think I misunderstood you there.
Obviously SOME people make the choice to go do startups even though they could make more MONEY (at least initially) at an IB.
Wonder how that happened?
