> the finance sector lures away high-skilled workers
I only just recently learned that doing finance is something people want to get into. And I still don't understand why, so that's my question.
See, I've always thought of it as this thing that people only do because they thought they were supposed to. I'm in a maths degree right now, so I really know this feeling of not being qualified for anything real.
Other than being a teacher, which is the thing I want, being an office boy in an insurance company is like the only other option I've ever been given.
So I always thought finance people were only in it for that same reason. Not having a choice.
Money. The amount of Money one can make in finance is the appeal. I graduated with my engineering degree ~8 years ago, if I knew in college what I know today about what any "real world" work environment/income levels are, I would have gone into the finance sector, hands down. Its's not too late for you. Sell out, cash in.

What's the appeal? I'm still learning.
