Does banking and/PE solve this problem? If you become an MD, or at least an ED, make somewhere like $3 million/year, I believe that solves the problem no? You can afford a lot of good then then.
Let's say you make $5 million/year as an MD. Your personal tax rate is 40%, so your take-home is $3 million. I've never seen that much money and I think it's pretty damn good.
