Wealth planning/wealth management is NOT high finance

Wealth management is a scam and is not prestigious or impressive. Only impressive high finance careers are investment banking, private equity, hedge fund, quant, or venture capital. So if you are in wealth management/financial planning, lower your ego and standards.
