I've had similar thoughts from time to time - I have friends who work on Wall Street, as very highly paid hedge fund managers/brokers and the like, and the lifestyles they have are just ... wow.

But at the same time, I don't know that I would've been able to deal with the stress and the angst and all, even before all this fallout. The money'd be nice, but ... yeah.
