<p>Money is not the biggest reason I want to go for Investment Banking.</p>
<p>Medicine, Law, and Engineering all pay well, but I would never pursue any of those careers. On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoy the idea of Investment Banking after college, for several reasons (money being only one of them). The exit opportunities, the intense work experience, and the exposure to a multitude of high-ranking businesspeople are IMO excellent reasons to pursue IB. I’m one of those people who see IB as a “boot camp” that has longer-term justification. In addition, I am actually excited and interested about the role of IBanks, and what they do. I am actually passionate about business, and the business world.</p>
<p>Some people seem to “drone” themselves towards IB, having no idea what it means. Others are probably too greedy to choose something else, and/or are too boring to have any passion for something.</p>
