Wall Street is fucked up.  There is no doubt about that.  The upper echelon of investment bankers are making a shitton of money even after putting us through a recession.  The sad part about this is, nobody is willing to stop them.  Our government as well is plagued with greed receiving bribes to prevent them from inflicting the necessary draconian punishment.  This starts my further rant on investment banking.

I abhor investment banking (and thats putting it lightly).  Possibly it stems from the fact that I envy the people who have taken this route to where there will be for sure riches and success, while I tried deviating and living my life by own rules (which I inevitably fail at).  Possibly it stems from the jealousy that people I believe are incompetent will be making substantially more money than me in the future.  I do not deny these facts.  Yet, even so, I don’t understand the point of paying bankers that much money to do some of the things they do.  The only people that I see fit to deserve this amount of money  are the more intelligent people who create the financial models needed for appropriate portfolio management (which I still disdain for the fact that their intelligence could be used for bettering our lives instead of being self-…..actually fuck it who am I kidding I would do the same if I had the intelligence.)  Yet there are people in the industry that are making tons of money just lying through their teeth to people abusing the ignorance of the common people.  For example, the financial crisis, where they abuse the power of making money off the common people ignorant (hopeful?) of their situations.  From this rant, what can I do about my utter hatred towards this industry?

I could become a lawyer to protect the interests of the people against the evil empire that is created.  In an idealistic world, yes I will do that.  I want to be one of the forefront representatives to bring down this tyranny.  Yet, I won’t and in fact can’t.  For if I pursued this route, I will come across road blocks to stifle my career and inevitably end up failing in life.  Two things would occur.

1) I would go against these companies where they could hire an assassin to silence me.

2) Any firm that hires me will probably be bribed by the amounts of money they received to put me away.

From these, I would be a black sheep, where no firm will hire me and I will end up destitute yet fighting the good fight.

Fuck that.  So I will just post my rants on this blog, and do nothing.  Because sadly, thats all I can do at this point.
