Is S&T a better career than IB? Trump repeals VOLCKER and dodd-frank?

https://www.atr.org/financial-choice-act-repeals-…

Looks like trump will be repealing Dodd-frank and also the Volckers, which prevents banks from trading with their own money (prop trading). Is this a good time to be in S&T than Ibanking? Given that pre-2008, trading made up most of the revenue of BB's, will we be returning to that era in the next few years?
