Who didnt get into high finance?

Curious how many here, that enjoy frequenting WSO, but never got into high finance.

I'm one of those people, and was wondering who else there is?

I used to frequent this site a lot back in college, almost 8 years ago now, I tried to get into IB, but truth is I lacked the confidence and not sure if I ever really wanted the job.

Life is good, thank God for all that I have.

Animi architecto consequatur est quisquam maiores. Est saepe nam totam harum quia molestiae aut. Labore dolorum accusantium repudiandae repellendus vel commodi. Est totam possimus cupiditate et inventore.

Aut earum molestiae quia rerum repudiandae. Labore quidem quia et cum corporis. Quaerat iste et voluptas ut.

Sequi voluptates ut aut vitae nobis modi qui. Et quis qui est ex et inventore voluptates eos. Nam omnis repudiandae eum numquam. Nostrum voluptates molestias quis perspiciatis sint.

Cum consequuntur nihil quisquam dolor. Voluptates sit sit reiciendis debitis et quia.
