A Real Engineer Builds Bridges, a Financial Engineer Builds Dreams

We were watching "Inside Job" in class today and I caught

As much as I think I'm preaching to the choir, this seems like some anti-corporate BS that's in all the '08 documentaries.

I wanna gauge the professionals' viewpoint on the statement, is the man in the clip justified at all in saying finance is building nothing?

My quick take: The bridge wouldn't be built without the capital, and our social system right now relies on the financial industry.
