I feel like I am arguing with a third grader.
To blame the Dotcom bust and the mortgage crisis on Wall Street is like blaming Kennedy for Bay of Pigs: it's easy to point to the biggest name, when the truth is that there were multiple parties at fault. To say that Wall Street was the "prime mover" is also irrelevant. In fact, your whole "I dislike Wall Street" statement is irrelevant to my initial post. I could care less about your personal grudges with overworked analysts who probably get paid/laid more than you. Not my problem.
I do have a problem, however, when you attempt to deter future financiers by posting links that show how many jobs are going to be cut. Again, I elucidated in my first post that job cuts are inevitable in a market like this. The funny thing is that
you seem to ignore the fact that other sectors and professions are going to have job losses as well; the financial sector is just feeling it right now because of their proximity to the mess.
Post all the links you want, barrons, but my initial point still stands:

The bottom line is that those who are dedicated and truly interested in finance will continue to pursue a career in investment banking despite current market conditions and despite the grueling hours. Those who are inadequate and incapable of succeeding in a tough and competitive field will continue to point out the unglamorous aspects of the job and laugh when thousands of people lose their jobs a la BSC. But, if you're like most people and you're not one or the other, then my advice to you is to keep an open mind and go after the job that best suits you, finance or not.

And, yes, by "inadequate and incapable of succeeding" in investment banking, I am referring to you.
