I think that you're touching on one of the worst aspects of S&T, very bad exit opps. In the best case scenarios, I've seen someone become a HF analyst or IR person. However, the spectrum of exits extends to insurance sales, home mortgage officer, and retail financial advisor. I've seen a lot more people end up in this bucket than the HF/IR bucket.

 

Yeah most people would kill for a role like that....or a role where you're at a tech start-up and make a few million by 28 on the IPO.

In my opinion, when you're considering a career, you need to think about the average outcome, not the right tail of the distribution. Just about any career is awesome if we look at the far right tail whether we're talking IB construction, running a restaurant or even operating porta potties.
