If you are being honest about this, then you are seriously wasting your own time and life. Don't go into finance to get revenge. If you are going into finance to get revenge on your ex bf, then you are going to be even more worse off then the people who just go into it because they think they will automatically get the big bucks.
Seriously, if this is real, it is pathetic. The real revenge would be succeeding at whatever you do so much so that you become famous/mega wealthy and then he has to see you constantly in the news. But in order to do that you would have to have a brain, and based on what you described here, you don't have one.

Yeah, my whole point here is that truly being smart isn't as simple as reading books, learning material, and rehashing it on a test. I don't doubt that you are book smart, but judging from your reasons for trying to get a banking job your intelligence ends with school and degrees. That's respectable to an extent, but good luck actually leading that great of a life with this stupid, yes STUPID, of a reason for getting a banking job.
You are letting your emotions get the best of you, and that, is in no way smart. I don't need to step foot on MIT to know that.
