agree that career is not just money. but you need to get the facts right.
an average first year associate, note just an average one, gets between US$200-300k per year. And i don't believe an average engineer gets even close.
on the other hand, yes i-bankers works long hours and overnight is frequent. so it's definitely not a decent job for young girls, especially if you care more about your beaufy and health.
