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.
