Science and Finance?

I would like to consider myself a scientist...or someone who's very interested in science, specifically biotechnology. How can one best merge such interests with the world of finance? Is consulting the best option, or is it possible in IBanking? Any advice?

First of all, consulting is NOT finance. Consulting is very gay, and that is all you really need to know about that.

To answer your question, I would say that the coolest way to merge such interests would be VC, of course. VC is ridiculously hard to break into, though, so don't get your hopes up.
