Change the world by becoming an investment banker

I read this article that spoke of this philosopher who told someone who wanted to change the world to become an investment banker because money is what makes things change. Do you agree?

I agree because if you think about it, business people, people with money, are those who usually make the change. You need money to make moves. Doctors change the world, sure, but one person at a time. Not only that, the only reason why, a lot of the time, they have a hospital to practice in in the first place is because they were hired by people who own it.
