Re: Wall Street Vs. Law School Vs. Graduate School
if you're going to do wall street use your college career services. especially if you didn't have an econ major. the difference in opportunites open to you from a top ten school from when you are in school to when you graduate is ridiculous. i went to an ivy league and getting an internship/job while i was in school wasn't cake but very doable since every firm was heavily recruiting our students. once you graduate though, your connections go down the crapper, especially when all the top firms are already filling their positions through recruiting. do a quick job search and you'll see what i mean. first year ibanking positions that are being recruited at yoru school are now requiring you to have 2-3 years prior experience.
finance definitely makes more money than law but if you go in-house or start your own practice, you can potentially work much less doing law.
imo, best way to get paid >$100/hr is to whore yourself out on craigslist.
