The toxicity of WSO never ceases to disappoint me. Posted this with genuine intentions of seeing if others have faced similar struggles, I guess the delivery was off.

You can still help people, you’ll a earn a decent amount of money over the coming years. Use some it to help people, change someone’s life. My original plan was to pursue either mech engineering or medicine but wasn’t very passionate about either one, so now going into development. Don’t feel so worthless, finance is the back office of society but back offices do offer some value lmao.
Your first mistake was listing your IQ as a reason for what makes you special.
Obviously none of those metrics alone are representative of being "special", but that certainly is one of many factors that differentiate me from the other 7.8 billion people walking around. The point I am trying to make is I feel like I'm wasting some potential by going into finance and making the rich richer
There are many different roles in finance - not all are just to make 'the rich richer'. If you want a 1:1 doctor patient relationship, sure, go into medicine.
Don't be silly, your boss will likely go for the Hamptons or Naples.
Wrong side of the country my friend -- westcoastbestcoast
I would try and articulate how finance helps people’s lives, but my brain isn’t beautiful enough :/ #uglybrain
I would not go so far as to cast aside your personal objective beliefs in justifying your existence. However, you can contribute in many different ways.
For example, volunteer or contribute part of a salary or a small donation to a cause you believe in. Citi has a program where they allow you to volunteer for one year prior to starting one of their analyst classes, if I’m not mistaken.
If you find something wrong with your current city, write to your representative’s office a letter regarding the issue and possible solutions. Attend open forums (should or when C-19 is over).
I would not drink too much into the kool-aide and think that the grass is greener on social work/medicine side. You can pursue these later on should you wish.
Just focus on the here and now, and take care of your physical and mental health.
it probably happened when you developed such an inflated view of yourself: "beautiful brain" "I made beautiful music" "as hard a worker as you ever knew" "overall good guy" "somewhere near the top of the board"
you'll fit in nicely in IB
signed,
another prick
I can't decide if you're being an egotistical maniac or going through an existential crisis. Either way... it is what it is. It's not the worst thing in the world, you'll have the means to contribute monetarily at the very least.
If this still bothers you- your beautiful brain didn't go anywhere, so just apply and go to Med school/ Law school later on.
-Another ugly brain
This post makes me cringe beyond belief for so many reasons.
i remember when i thought i was really smart and special too
Quit whining. It’s not too late to do anything you want to do.
145 IQ > jerks self off over irrelevant musical achievements and vents on a message board about how his brilliant mind is being wasted on college finance classes instead of starting a Unicorn from his dorm room like a real genius
L O L
So you deserve better when there are 10,526,316 people who have as high if not a higher IQ than you?
I hope your staffer pounds you in the ass for being a piece of shit
redacted, don't want a pissing fight with a feeble scourge such as yourself
Happy to help !
