At least do something to progress your argument.
I'm sorry. What argument?
The subject of the thread was closed in post 18 as far as I'm concerned. I'm just still struggling to understand the reason behind your snobbish, defeatist and futile initial post.
And after basically telling us to 'give up, you're all screwed', you still define yourself as:
"empathetic to the friends I left behind".
So no argument either on your career change. You really have what it takes to be a banker...
